US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly said in a CNBC interview, as relayed by The Jerusalem Post, that he would not be cowed by Iranian death threats against him and other Cabinet members, and called the Iranian leadership 'F'ed'. An ME Observer Telegram post says he moved from his home to a military base after the threats from Iran's leadership, and Clash Report posted the insulting quote attributed to Bessent.
Unofficial; built automatically from public posts and can be wrong. Verify before acting.
Verification
Confirmed: 2 independent sources.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Independent origins agree and an official record, a neutral body or an admission against interest backs it. That is strong evidence, not certainty; it can still change.
What we know and what remains unclear
Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
Independently reported
- Who said it: Bessent · 2 origins
