According to CoinMeta, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin stated in an interview on Friday that he would not yield to threats to his life from Iran. Mnuchin mentioned that he had moved from his residence in Washington, D.C. to a military base in the United States. He said, "Why should I be afraid when our brave soldiers in the Gulf and President Trump are constantly receiving death threats?" Iran has denied plotting attacks on officials and personnel on American soil. Mnuchin added that Iran's actions are "like a dangerous beast cornered into a dead end." He emphasized the necessity of following the instructions of the Secret Service and pointed out that one of the reasons for his move was a drone photograph of his home in Georgetown published by The Wall Street Journal in January 2025, which the newspaper described as "extremely irresponsible and dangerous."
