'Where to Kill Barron Trump': Disturbing Iranian Broadcast Exposes Alleged 'Full Monitoring' of Trump's Son
Iranian broadcast claims surveillance of Barron Trump, linking him to a $10 million bounty

Iranian state media has aired a three-minute video titled 'Where to kill Barron Trump' claiming the 20-year-old son of President Donald Trump is fully monitored and linking him to a $10 million (£7.4 million) bounty.
Broadcast over the weekend on IRIB Channel 3, the segment features stylised graphics of sites including Trump Tower and New York University dormitories where he is said to reside. The US Secret Service said it is aware of the material and investigates perceived threats to its protectees as a matter of course.
Iranian State Television Details Alleged Surveillance of Barron Trump
The video, circulated by media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, asserts that Barron Trump's movements have been tracked in detail across known locations.
President Trump,

Islamic Republic’s state-run Channel 3 has now openly broadcast a video targeting your son, Barron Trump, discussing ways to reach him and promoting a reported $10 million bounty.

It depicts the Constance Milstein and Family Global Academic Center at New York University as his main place of residence and highlights escort vehicles along with the positions of Secret Service personnel.
Graphics purport to show his daily habits, including time spent on video games, while claiming an unnamed girl once bypassed security to meet him privately.
Opposition outlets such as Iran International first highlighted the broadcast, noting its heavy stylisation offered little indication of successful efforts.
Similar segments targeting First Lady Melania Trump appeared last month, part of a pattern after the killing of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the outset of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran in February.
Hardline Iranian outlets have issued repeated threats against the Trump family in this period of heightened tensions following the conflict's early stages.
Claims of Online Accounts and Security Detail in the Video
The broadcast further alleges discovery of Barron's Xbox, Discord and FIFA accounts, as well as those of classmates named Liam Carter and Bo Louden.
Voiceover material states that many would be willing to act on the information, framing a reward of $10 million.
One version ends with the line 'This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!'
Reports indicate the segment was linked on social media by an anti-regime journalist after it could not be found on official Channel 3 platforms. US officials have long assessed Iranian interest in targeting Trump following the 2020 strike on Qasem Soleimani, with protective measures adjusted accordingly.
A federal source described the latest clip as part of an ongoing campaign of videos suggesting methods against family members.
No independent verification of the surveillance claims or bounty has emerged as of 25 August 2026.
Secret Service Response to the Iranian Broadcast
Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring stated: 'The US Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees.'
The agency declined further comment on protective intelligence for operational reasons. This marks the first public singling out of Barron, who studies at NYU's Stern School of Business.
Previous Iranian media has included billboards in Tehran and rallies calling for action against the president himself. Protective operations are adjusted constantly based on incoming information from multiple agencies and international partners.
The video's appearance comes as Tehran faces additional economic measures from the United States, with the stylised production underscoring the regime's continued focus on the Trump family amid unresolved tensions from the earlier conflict that began earlier this year.
