Iranian media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has escalated its threats against President Donald Trump’s family, airing a video on state TV that purportedly tracks the movements of his 20-year-old son, Barron Trump. Separate reports also claim a $10 million bounty has been placed on his head. The video, reported Sunday by news outlet Al Bawaba, appeared on IRGC-linked media and Iran’s state-run Channel 3 and carried the title, “Where to kill Barron Trump?”
According to Al Bawaba, the production purported to reveal information about Barron Trump’s location and movements, presenting the president’s youngest son as being within reach of potential attackers. The outlet also reported claims of a $10 million bounty. The official status of the purported bounty could not immediately be independently confirmed. The latest threat follows an earlier IRGC-linked propaganda campaign against first lady Melania Trump.
In July, the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency distributed a video titled “Where to Kill Melania?!” that discussed locations she frequents in New York and her shopping habits. The video alleged details about her Secret Service protection. It encouraged would-be attackers to exploit supposed vulnerabilities. The video concluded with a direct warning to the president’s son: “Barron Trump, wait for us!” The Secret Service said it was aware of the threatening material and investigates threats against those under its protection.
The increasingly personal threats are part of a broader Iranian campaign directed at the president since the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran war. In July, a massive billboard appeared in Tehran’s Islamic Revolution Square depicting Donald Trump apparently dead in a coffin. Written prominently across the display in English were the words, “We Kill Trump.” Other banners reportedly depicted American flag-draped coffins alongside images of Donald Trump, Melania Trump, and members of their family.
Iranian-linked media also previously circulated a video titled “Where to Kill Trump?!” purporting to map Trump’s motorcade routes between airports and his residences in Florida and New York. The Secret Service confirmed it was examining that material. The threats represent a dramatic escalation from Tehran’s long-standing vows of retaliation against Donald Trump and former U.S. officials over the 2020 killing of IRGC Quds Force Cmdr. Qasem Soleimani.
