US Secret Service Investigates Iranian Video Threatening Barron Trump

The U.S. Secret Service confirmed it is investigating a video aired by Iranian state media that appears to threaten the life of President Donald Trump's 20-year-old son, Barron Trump.

The threat follows a series of state-produced media targeting the U.S. president and his family after the assassination of Iran's former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the joint U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.

Broadcast over the weekend by Iranian state outlet IRIB, the nearly three-minute video displays graphics displaying locations where the younger Trump frequents, including Trump Tower in New York, while opening with the question, "Where to kill Barron Trump?!"

Towards the conclusion of the broadcast, a narrator suggests individuals are awaiting a $10 million reward, marking the first time Barron Trump has been individually targeted despite previous threats directed at First Lady Melania Trump and President Trump himself.

Federal law enforcement officials noted that protective operations are continually adjusted in response to intelligence gathered from domestic agencies, local police, and foreign partners.

"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees," said Secret Service spokesman Nate Herring.

Spokesperson Herring added that security protocols prevent the disclosure of operational details regarding protective intelligence.

"Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence," Herring stated.

Senior law enforcement officials previously acknowledged the persistent threats originating from Iranian leadership since the 2020 military strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

"I don't think it's any secret, it's been in the media, that Iran has publicly said they want to kill President Trump," said Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn.

Tensions between the nations remain elevated following the recent military escalations, with state-organized Iranian rallies routinely featuring anti-American displays, bounty offers, and threats against high-ranking U.S. officials.
