Iranian state TV airs video threatening Barron Trump, detailing his Xbox habits and offering $10 million bounty; Secret Service says it's aware

Iranian state TV has escalated threats against Barron Trump, airing a video that details his movements and offers a $10 million bounty on his life. The video, linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), showcases AI-generated clips of Barron playing Xbox and suggests vulnerabilities in his security.¹

The report claims that Barron, 20, has a "digital sanctuary" with limited communication, primarily through gaming consoles. It also alleges that a girl bypassed Secret Service protocols to gather information about him. The video includes details about his locations, including Trump Tower and his school, and highlights elements of his security detail, suggesting that agents disguise themselves as students.²

The video concludes ominously, stating, "Millions of FIFA players against Trump are waiting to receive a ten-million-dollar prize from us." This follows a previous IRGC video targeting First Lady Melania Trump, which detailed her shopping habits and security vulnerabilities. The Secret Service is aware of the threats and is investigating the situation.

Mohsen Rezai, head of Iran's national security council, has indicated that Iran may extend its strikes to U.S. companies in retaliation for economic sanctions, further escalating tensions between the two nations.

The official status of the purported bounty remains unconfirmed, but the threats reflect a disturbing trend of Iranian media targeting the Trump family.
