The US Secret Service says it is aware of an Iranian video that discusses a plot to assassinate Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump. 'We investigate anything that could be considered a threat,' spokesperson Nate Herring stated, according to a report from N12 news.
The US Secret Service has publicly confirmed it is aware of and investigating an Iranian video that discusses an assassination plot against Barron Trump, the 20-year-old son of former President Donald Trump. "We investigate anything that could be considered a threat," Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring told N12 news, according to a report published Tuesday, marking the first official acknowledgment from the agency regarding this specific video.
The video first emerged on Sunday, Aug 23, when Iranian state television aired a segment titled "Where and How to Kill Barron Trump," which reportedly included surveillance details on the younger Trump's university routine, security vehicles, and Secret Service agent positions. Later that day, additional reports alleged that an unidentified woman had bypassed his security detail and supplied information, while the broadcast referenced a $10 million reward — though this remains unverified by Western sources. The video quickly became a global headline, as reported by Telegram outlets covering Arab-world media.
This is part of a broader pattern of Iranian state-linked threats against the Trump family. As The Zioneer reported on July 28, the Secret Service was previously reviewing a separate Iranian video that exposed locations visited by Melania Trump. On July 10, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee confirmed that Israeli intelligence had provided "very specific" warnings about an Iranian assassination plot against President Trump, leading to security changes for his return flight from a NATO summit. Another report from July noted the Secret Service was examining a broader Iranian video threat first reported by NextGov.
The current video reportedly discusses methods and possibilities for targeting Barron Trump. The $10 million bounty mentioned in the broadcast has not been independently confirmed by official Western sources, and the extent to which the surveillance claims are operational remains unclear.
