Iranian state-affiliated media has released a new propaganda video detailing how Barron Trump, the 20-year-old son of President Donald Trump, could be assassinated, including AI-generated imagery and claims of a $10 million bounty on his head. The report, which follows a similar video targeting First Lady Melania Trump last month, was published in outlets linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and state-run TV Channel 3, according to Euronews Persian.
Video details Barron Trump's routine and vulnerabilities
The video includes AI-generated clips of Barron Trump wearing an Arsenal shirt and playing his Xbox, along with suggestions for where he might meet people in New York's Trump Tower. It claims that Barron has a 'digital sanctuary of his own' and that his communications are limited to chats on the gaming console, per a translation from Euronews Persian.
The report also alleges that 'leaked data' originated from a 'girl' who spoke with Barron Trump after bypassing 'the most stringent US Secret Service protocols' and passed the information to the video's authors. It features Barron's close personal friend, 19-year-old MAGA influencer Bo Loudon.
Iranian officials threaten US economic targets
On Saturday, Mohsen Rezai, head of Iran's national security council, said the country was preparing to extend its strikes to US companies. This would be in retaliation for an 'economic D-Day' threatened by President Trump, which he said would force Tehran to accept a deal to end the war. Rezai told state media: 'So far, we have only targeted military bases, but if they want to impose economic sanctions on us, the US has oil and economic companies around Iran and elsewhere, and we will strike them.'
The previous video, titled 'How to Kill Melania Trump,' provided tips about the First Lady's whereabouts and designer stores she frequently visits. It ended with an apparent threat towards Barron Trump, saying: 'This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us.'
Ongoing threats against Trump family
The new report marks the second time in recent weeks that Iranian media has targeted a member of the Trump family. The videos are part of a broader pattern of threats and propaganda following heightened tensions between the US and Iran over economic sanctions and military actions.
The US Secret Service has not publicly commented on the latest video. The threats come amid ongoing diplomatic and military standoffs, with Iranian officials vowing to retaliate against US interests if sanctions are imposed.
