Israeli public broadcaster Kan reports that Iran is offering a $10 million reward for the assassination of Barron Trump, the youngest son of US President Donald Trump. The report follows an earlier Iranian state television video that mentioned a similar bounty.
Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported Wednesday that Iran is offering a $10 million reward for the assassination of Barron Trump, the youngest son of U.S. President Donald Trump. The report, published at 13:11 Jerusalem, marks the first time a mainstream Israeli outlet has directly confirmed the bounty offer that had previously circulated through Iranian state television and propaganda channels. Kan's sourcing provides journalistic corroboration to what was initially limited to Iranian media.
The story has evolved rapidly since Sunday, August 23, when The Zioneer first reported that Iranian state television aired a video titled 'Where and How to Kill Barron Trump' at 12:17 Jerusalem. Later that same day, additional reports emerged detailing the $10 million reward, claims of surveillance of Barron's university and security details, and a woman allegedly bypassing his security. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed it was investigating the threat video. The Zioneer's Eye on Zion publication earlier Wednesday had highlighted the Iranian video and its implications.
As The Zioneer reported in June, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps circulated an assassination list targeting President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. In July, an Iranian rally offered 100 kg of gold for killing Trump and Netanyahu, and an Iraqi militia group backed by Iran announced a $10 million reward for Trump himself. These threats form a sustained psychological warfare campaign by Tehran, likely aimed at influencing diplomatic dynamics amid ongoing tensions.
The specific sourcing of Kan's report has not been detailed, and the $10 million bounty remains unverified by official Western intelligence sources. Whether the reward represents an operational directive or a propaganda gesture remains unclear.
