The U.S. Secret Service said it is aware of a video broadcast by Iranian state media that appears to threaten Barron Trump, President Donald Trump’s 20-year-old son, with a $10 million bounty. The footage, reportedly released by media linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, marks an escalation in threats directed at the Trump family amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions.
The approximately three-minute video, titled “Where to Kill Barron Trump,” claims to show the president’s son’s locations, including Trump Tower in New York and his college campus, according to multiple reports. The clip, which appears to use AI imagery, states that Barron Trump is “fully monitored” and references the $10 million reward for anyone who acts on the threat.
In a statement, the Secret Service confirmed its awareness of the video without disclosing operational details. “The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees,” the agency said, according to reporting. The service declined to comment further, citing concerns over operational security.
This is not the first time Iranian state-linked media has targeted members of the Trump family. In late July 2026, similar videos produced by IRGC-affiliated outlets threatened both First Lady Melania Trump and Barron Trump, with the Secret Service investigating those incidents as well. The pattern reflects a broader campaign of threats from Iranian officials and state media, following the February 2026 U.S. and Israeli military operations that resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Trump has previously stated that he believes he is “number one” on Iran’s “kill list” and has warned of severe retaliation if Iran attacks him or his family members. The escalating rhetoric from Tehran, combined with the release of instructional propaganda videos, has intensified concerns about the security of U.S. officials and their families during the ongoing conflict.
