Washington: Iran’s state-run television channel has aired a highly provocative propaganda video targeting US President Donald Trump’s 20-year-old son Barron Trump.
It includes a $10 million (about Rs 85 crore) bounty for Barron’s assassination. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-affiliated media outlet Channel 3 aired a three-minute video titled “Where and how to kill Barron Trump?”
While this is a personal threat to the Trump family, international intelligence agencies have not confirmed any such official bounty or operational plan.
The video, titled “Where and How to Kill Barron Trump?”, is said to show the location of the university in New York where Barron is studying.
The video also reportedly shows the locations of the Secret Service personnel assigned to his security and details of the escort vehicles.
The broadcast claims that an unknown woman was able to secretly meet with Barron, bypassing Secret Service security. It also alleges that Barron uses an Xbox device for private communication.
The latest broadcast by Iranian state television was preceded by another video targeting US First Lady Melania Trump last month.
The video showed Melania being escorted by security vehicles and visiting various locations in New York. It also gave details of the luxury designer stores she is said to visit.
The video reportedly ended with a direct warning to the US President’s son, with the focus shifted to Barron.
The video reportedly ended with a warning, “This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, look out for us.”
Barron is currently attending college in New York and is the youngest son of Donald Trump and Melania Trump.
Both Barron and Melania have 24-hour US Secret Service security. Trump’s major properties, including Trump Tower in New York, the White House, Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey and his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, are also reportedly under tight security.
