Iran seems continues to get on the skin of US President Donald Trump by showing movements and security details of his youngest son Barron Trump’s movements on state television.
The footage, released by IRGC-affiliated media and broadcast on Channel 3 of Iranian state television, is titled “Where and how should we kill Barron Trump?” It also claimed a $10 million (€8.5m) bounty has been placed on him.
The video showed the location of his university, his escort vehicles and the positioning of his Secret Service detail, alleging his movements have been “fully monitored”. The claim about the bounty could not be independently verified at the time of publication.
It further alleges that “a girl” had found a way past the Secret Service’s protection, sat with Barron Trump in a private meeting and passed information to the programme’s makers.
It claims Barron Trump communicates privately via voice and text on Xbox, away from his security detail. Euronews could not independently verify any of these claims.
The broadcast follows a similar video released by the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency in July, titled “Where and how is Melania Trump accessible?”, which detailed her movements in New York and alleged vulnerabilities in her security. In late May, the New York Post reported on an alleged plot targeting Ivanka Trump.
Iran’s state media has also broadcast direct threats against the president himself. In July, a billboard in Tehran’s Islamic Revolution Square showed Trump apparently dead in a coffin, with the words “We will kill Trump” written in English.
In January 2020, a US drone strike killed IRGC’s Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad International Airport — an operation Trump authorised during his first term.
Iranian officials vowed retaliation for Soleimani’s killing at the time and have renewed those pledges repeatedly since.
The second and more recent trigger is the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the US-Israeli strikes of 28 February, the opening salvo of the ongoing war.
“If we do not carry out qisas on Trump, if we do not punish our leader’s killer, the current leader and the leaders of the Islamic Republic will always have to live in hiding,” Mohsen Ghanbarian, a regular on the state broadcaster, said. Agency reports
