US Secret Service Confirms Review of Iranian Video Threatening Trump’s Youngest Son
The United States Secret Service has acknowledged awareness of a video broadcast on Iranian state television that discussed a potential assassination attempt on Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump. The three-minute video claimed that Barron, aged 20, was under surveillance and that a $10 million bounty had allegedly been offered for his killing.
A spokesperson for the Secret Service, Nate Hering, confirmed the agency is investigating any threats against those it protects but declined to provide further operational details due to security concerns. The video’s airing on official Iranian media prompted the agency’s response, although no concrete evidence has been disclosed to confirm an active assassination plot or the legitimacy of the bounty.
This development comes amid ongoing tensions and previous threats against Donald Trump, with reports indicating that the US received warnings from Israel about Iranian assassination intentions over the past year. Trump himself has stated he is "number one on Iran’s kill list." The current threat extends the focus to his family, as the Secret Service is responsible for protecting certain family members as well.
Additionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed in an exclusive interview that Iran had attempted to assassinate one of his sons, later identified as Yair Netanyahu, who was evacuated from Miami due to the threat. Netanyahu emphasized the seriousness of the security measures protecting his family.
No further details on the timing or specifics of the alleged assassination attempts have been released by either US or Israeli officials.
