Iran’s state broadcaster has reportedly aired a video threatening to assassinate Barron Trump
The United States Secret Service (USSS) said it was aware of the video and was investigating it as a threat against a protected person.
According to CNN, Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB TV 3 aired a roughly three-minute video over the weekend. The opening screen showed the English phrase, “Where to kill Barron Trump?” and displayed graphics of places where Barron Trump is known to stay publicly.

The video reportedly depicted Trump Tower in New York, locations related to the university Barron Trump attends, and the positions of vehicles and Secret Service personnel assigned to protect him.
It also claimed that Barron Trump’s movements were “completely under surveillance” and mentioned ways to get past Secret Service security and approach him.
Some of the claims made by Iran’s state broadcaster were said to include details about Barron Trump’s private life and online activity. However, it has not been confirmed whether such information was actually obtained or whether the content shown in the video was true.
Some foreign media outlets reported that the video mentioned a $10 million reward, or about 1.38 billion won, for killing Barron Trump. But this, too, was only a claim made in the Iranian video, and it has not been confirmed that any actual bounty exists.

The United States Secret Service said it was aware of the video content.
A Secret Service spokesperson told CNN, “The Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that could be perceived as a threat to a protected person.” The agency did not disclose specific security details or threat assessments, citing operational security.

The video comes amid a series of threatening reports from Iranian media targeting President Trump and his family.
Earlier, media outlets linked to Iran released videos targeting not only President Trump but also First Lady Melania Trump. Last month, a video appeared that covered the places Melania Trump visits in New York and her travel routes. The final part of that video reportedly even mentioned Barron Trump directly.
