The U.S. Secret Service says it is aware of an Iranian state media video that appears to threaten the life of Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump. The footage has emerged amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, prompting the agency to review the material as a potential threat.
Video targeting Barron Trump published on Iranian website.
The video reportedly depicts locations associated with Barron Trump and claims that a $10 million bounty has been offered for his killing. Reports said the footage was circulated by Iranian media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Secret Service confirmed it was aware of the video but declined to discuss specific protective measures or intelligence because of operational security concerns.
The threat comes as U.S.-Iran tensions remain high following the outbreak of war between the two countries and Israel earlier this year. Iranian state-linked media has previously circulated threats against Trump and other members of his family, while U.S. officials have warned of Iranian efforts targeting American political figures. The Secret Service routinely investigates information that could represent a threat to people under its protection, but the agency has not publicly indicated whether the video reflects a specific operational threat or an imminent attack.

The incident adds to security concerns surrounding the Trump family as Washington continues its military and economic pressure campaign against Iran. It also highlights the growing role of state-linked media in disseminating threatening material during the conflict, although the circulation of a video does not by itself establish that an assassination attempt is being planned. The Secret Service has not provided further details about its assessment or any changes to Barron Trump's security arrangements.
