Iranian State TV Broadcast Targets Barron Trump

Iranian state television has aired a threatening broadcast targeting Barron Trump, the 20-year-old son of US President Donald Trump, amid escalating tensions and threats involving the Trump family.

The roughly three-minute video, reportedly aired on Iran's Channel 3 and circulated by media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claimed that Barron's movements had been "fully monitored" and alleged that a $10 million bounty had been placed on him.

The reported bounty and the claims about Barron's movements could not be independently verified.

Video reportedly details Barron's movements and security

According to reports, the broadcast was titled "Where and how should we kill Barron Trump?" and claimed to reveal information about the president's son, including aspects of his security arrangements and personal activities.

The footage reportedly showed the location of Barron's university, vehicles associated with his security detail and the positions of Secret Service personnel.

It also alleged that Barron communicates privately through voice and text on Xbox when away from his security detail.

The programme reportedly used graphics to depict surveillance, online activity and Barron's social connections, while suggesting that information had been gathered about people in his surroundings.

The broadcast also made an unverified claim that a woman had managed to get past Barron's Secret Service protection, met him privately and subsequently passed information to people connected to the programme.

Report claims Trump Tower, university locations were shown

The Jerusalem Post, which reviewed material associated with the broadcast, reported that the video showed locations Barron had previously visited, including Trump Tower and his university campus.

It also reportedly claimed that Secret Service agents had blended into Barron's surroundings by posing as students.

The broadcast ended with a reference to a $10 million reward for targeting the US president's son, according to reports.

Melania Trump was targeted in an earlier video

The broadcast follows previous Iranian media content targeting members of the Trump family.

In July, IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency reportedly released a video titled "Where and how is Melania Trump accessible?" The footage purported to identify aspects of US First Lady Melania Trump's movements in New York and alleged vulnerabilities in her security arrangements.

Iranian state-linked media have also previously issued direct threats against President Trump.

Trump has faced threats from Iran before

In July, a billboard displayed in Tehran's Islamic Revolution Square reportedly showed an image depicting Trump dead in a coffin alongside the words "We will kill Trump."

Another video previously circulated by Iranian state media reportedly attempted to map Trump's motorcade routes between airports and his residences in Florida and New York. The US Secret Service confirmed at the time that it was reviewing the material.

The threats have a broader history linked to tensions between Washington and Tehran.

In January 2020, a US drone strike ordered by Trump during his first presidency killed Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC's Quds Force, at Baghdad International Airport.

The latest broadcast adds Barron Trump to a series of threats and propaganda targeting the US president and members of his family.
