Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, has reportedly been targeted in a disturbing video aired by Iranian state media. The broadcast claimed that Barron Trump was under surveillance and that a $10 million bounty had been placed on him. The claims have not been independently verified, and the report comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the Trump administration.
Iranian Broadcast Raises Alarm
The video was reportedly aired by Iran’s Channel 3, a state media outlet linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. According to The Independent, the broadcast used a provocative title referring to where and how Barron Trump could be killed and displayed the location of his New York university.
The footage also allegedly showed Secret Service security positions and escort vehicles. Such details have raised concerns because Barron Trump is protected by the U.S. Secret Service as the president’s son.
Claims Have Not Been Independently Verified
The allegations contained in the Iranian broadcast remain unverified. Euronews said it had not independently confirmed the claims, while The Independent reported that it had contacted the White House for comment.
The broadcast also made several other allegations involving Barron Trump, including a claim that an unnamed woman had managed to bypass his Secret Service protection and meet with him secretly. It further alleged that he uses an Xbox console for private communications. No independent evidence supporting those claims was provided in the report.
Rising Tensions With Trump Administration
The reported threat comes as tensions between Tehran and Washington have intensified. The Iranian broadcast followed threats of severe retaliation over President Trump’s economic pressure campaign against Iran.
The report described Trump’s warnings as an “economic D-Day” and suggested that Iran was preparing a major response. The alleged bounty claim therefore comes against a broader backdrop of increasingly hostile rhetoric between the two countries.
Barron Trump Remains in New York
Barron Trump is currently attending college in New York. As the youngest child of Donald and Melania Trump, he has generally maintained a lower public profile than some other members of the Trump family.
The reported Iranian video has nevertheless placed him at the center of international tensions. With the claims still unverified, questions remain about their credibility and whether U.S. authorities will respond publicly to the reported threat.
