WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Secret Service confirmed Tuesday that it is aware of a video from Iranian state media that appears to threaten Barron Trump, President Donald Trump’s youngest son.
“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees,” Secret Service spokesman Nate Herring told The National News Desk. “Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence.”
The clip, titled “Where to kill Barron Trump,” includes images of dormitories at New York University, where Barron Trump attends school. The Iranian regime has also reportedly placed a $10 million bounty on him, according to the New York Post.
“This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!” the video concludes.
Iranian media content threatening Trump’s family has repeatedly surfaced since the assassination of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Previously, Tasnim News Agency, an Iranian outlet with close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reportedly published a video that appeared to encourage the assassination of First Lady Melania Trump.
That video, titled “Where to Kill Melania?!,” used publicly available information, AI-generated imagery and English subtitles to identify places the first lady is known to visit in New York City, while suggesting violent methods of attacking her, according to the New York Post.
Trump has said he believes he is “number one” on Iran’s “kill list” and has warned of severe retaliation if Iran attacks him or his family.
During dayslong funeral events for Khamenei in July, banners and signs carried by regime loyalists displayed messages reading, “We will kill Trump.”
