Iran Targets Trump's Youngest Son in 'Where and How To Kill Barron' Video With $10M Bounty Claim

Iranian opposition journalist Niyak Ghorbani has circulated a video on X that he said was broadcast by Iran's state‑run Channel 3, titled 'Where and how should we kill Barron Trump?', which claims President Donald Trump's youngest son is a specific target and that his movements are 'fully monitored'.

The segment, which has not been independently confirmed as an official Iranian state broadcast, ends by referring to a $10 million 'prize from us' and has prompted scrutiny from US media and security observers.

The roughly three‑minute video purports to show Barron's university, his escort vehicles and the positions of his Secret Service detail. It also claims to have identified online accounts linked to him, including Xbox, Discord and FIFA profiles, and suggests that locations he visits have been mapped.

What the Video Claims

The segment alleges that a girl bypassed Secret Service protection, met Barron privately and passed information to those behind the programme. It ends by referring to a $10 million 'prize from us'.

The bounty claim has not been independently verified as an official Iranian government order. No statement from Tehran confirming the alleged reward has been identified.

Ghorbani, an Iranian journalist and critic of the government, described the footage as a Channel 3 broadcast. The Jerusalem Post reported that it could not locate the original video on Channel 3's own platforms.

The programme presents Barron, 20, as a specific target and describes his movements and security arrangements in detail. It claims to have identified locations he visits and accounts belonging to him and people around him.

The video also refers to Secret Service protection and alleges that information about Barron's movements was obtained after a woman gained access to him. The video does not identify an Iranian government agency as the authority behind the alleged reward.

Earlier Video Targeted Melania Trump

The broadcast follows a video published last month by Tasnim News Agency, an Iranian outlet linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, targeting first lady Melania Trump.

The Tasnim video, titled 'Where to Kill Melania?!', presented claims about Melania's movements and security arrangements in New York.

It also identified luxury stores she was said to visit and referred to alleged vulnerabilities in her protection. It ended with a warning directed at Barron.

'This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us!' the video said. The US Secret Service said it was aware of the material and was investigating it.

'The Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees,' Nate Herring, a lead public affairs specialist with the agency's communications and media relations office, said at the time.

'Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence,' he added. The agency did not publicly disclose the outcome of that investigation.

Secret Service Response to New Claims

Reports on the latest Barron video said the Secret Service was aware of the material. The agency has not publicly detailed whether it has opened a separate investigation into the video.

The White House and State Department have not publicly commented on the video or confirmed the alleged bounty. Iranian government officials have likewise not publicly confirmed that Tehran authorised or funded a $10 million reward targeting Barron.

Barron receives Secret Service protection as the son of the sitting US president. The latest video comes amid continuing tensions between Washington and Tehran, with the Trump administration maintaining pressure on Iran through sanctions and other measures.

It is the latest reported threat directed at a member of the Trump family by Iran‑linked media, following the July video targeting Melania and ending with a warning about Barron.
