The Iranian state television IRIB aired a nearly three-minute video this Monday titled "Where to Kill Barron Trump?", which openly threatens to assassinate Barron Trump, the youngest son of the President of the United States, and announces a supposed reward of 10 million dollars for anyone who accomplishes this, according to CNN.
The material, also distributed by media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claims that the movements of the 20-year-old are "completely monitored," and concludes with a direct warning: "This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!".
A video with threats and alleged information about his movements
The content is particularly disturbing because it claims to have information about the daily life and movements of Barron Trump.
The video includes stylized graphics and references to places and activities publicly associated with the young man. It also claims, without providing evidence that could be independently verified, to have information about his university routine and digital communications.
The material also mentions a person from Barron's social circle as a supposed access point to approach the president's son. For security reasons, the operational details shared in the propaganda video are omitted.
According to AP, this is the first time Barron Trump has been publicly identified as a target by Iranian media, although similar threats had been made against First Lady Melania Trump.
The Secret Service opens an investigation
The United States Secret Service confirmed that it is aware of the video and announced that it is investigating the case.
“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and is investigating anything that might be perceived as a threat against the individuals under our protection,” stated Nate Herring, agency spokesperson, in a statement to CNN.
Herring added that, "for operational security reasons, we do not discuss intelligence matters related to protection."
A federal source from law enforcement told CNN that the video is part of a broader campaign of materials from Iran targeting the Trump family, some of which include alleged details about its members and threats against them.
According to that source, the protection operations are continually adapted based on information from the Secret Service, other agencies, and foreign governments.
An escalation that has been coming for a long time
The video against Barron is the most recent episode in a spiral of Iranian threats that intensified following the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani in January 2020, ordered by Trump.
The conflict reached a turning point in February 2026, when a joint airstrike by the U.S. and Israel resulted in the death of the Iranian supreme leader Ali Jamenei.
Since then, the Iranian regime has intensified its rhetoric of revenge against Trump and his surroundings.
In July 2026, the Tasnim agency —linked to the IRGC— had already published a video titled "Where to Kill Melania?", which ended with an explicit warning directed at Barron.
During the funeral proceedings for Jamenei, crowds carried signs bearing the words “Kill Trump” and offered rewards to anyone who would avenge the death of their leader.
The Iranian threat forced Trump to secretly leave Turkey during the NATO summit in Ankara, hidden inside a catering truck and aboard an alternate military aircraft, out of fear that a portable missile could take down Air Force One.
The president himself acknowledged the seriousness of the situation during that summit:
"I'm on any list you have... so far, I suppose I've been a bit lucky, but that might not last long. They are wicked and sick people."
The IRIB, the propaganda arm of the regime
The channel that aired the video is not an independent media outlet: the director of IRIB is directly appointed by the supreme leader of Iran, which highlights the state-controlled nature of the channel and its close ties to the power structures of the Iranian regime.
On July 30, the U.S. launched an airstrike against Iran following a ballistic missile attack by the Revolutionary Guard on a U.S. base in Jordan, highlighting that the conflict remains active with no clear signs of de-escalation.
Iran International noted that it could not independently verify either the alleged reward of 10 million dollars or the claims regarding surveillance and operational data presented in the video.
The existence and dissemination of the material through Iranian state media, however, have been documented.
