US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Friday that he won't be intimidated by ‌alleged Iranian plots against his life, following his recent move from ‌his Washington, DC, residence to a US military base.

"Why am I going to be afraid when our, the brave military personnel in the Gulf, President (Donald) Trump, constantly receive death threats?" Bessent said in an interview on CNBC.

Iran has denied plotting to attack US officials or individuals on American soil.
