Secret Service reacts to chilling ‘where to kill Barron Trump’ video as Iran threat sparks alarm

WASHINGTON, DC: A day after a video that began with an English graphic that reads “Where to Kill Barron Trump” went viral, the Secret Service has reacted to the life threat against President Trump’s youngest son.

President Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, has come under the crosshairs of the deadly war between the US and Iran, as Tehran has aimed at Barron, placing a $10 million bounty on his head.

Secret Service is investigating the case refuses details

The Secret Service on Tuesday, August 25, confirmed that it is “aware” of a video reportedly published by Iranian state media that appears to threaten Barron Trump and award the killer of Trump’s 20-year-old son.

“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees,” Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring said in a statement.

“Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence,” Herring added.

A chilling three-minute video fantasizing about killing Barron Trump, with the title “Where to Kill Barron Trump,” was broadcast by Iranian outlets, according to Iran International, a UK-based outlet that covers the country.

The video described efforts to reach the president’s youngest son and referred to a $10 million reward.

Iran claims Barron is fully monitored

In a disturbing escalation of conflict with Washington, Tehran has now turned its gunpoint towards Trump’s family.

The three-minute, now-deleted video claimed that Barron is “fully monitored” while showing depictions of the dorms at New York University’s Constance Milstein & Family Global Academic Center, according to a translation by Euronews.

The video also claimed to have uncovered Barron’s accounts on Xbox, FIFA, and Discord, along with the accounts of some of his classmates. It also named two of them.

“This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!” the video concluded.  Multiple reports indicated that the regime placed a $10 million bounty on Barron Trump’s head.

According to Middle East news outlet Al Bawaba, the video was distributed to media outlets linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Iran released similar videos earlier

This is not the first time Iran has made such direct threats against President Trump and his family members or released such videos. This video comes on the heels of post vide “how to kill Melania.”

One Iranian video in July also asked, “How to kill” First Lady Melania Trump and used similar AI imagery that it claimed was the first lady’s movements.
