Secret Service Rushed in to Protect Barron Trump After an Alarming a New Threat on Youngest First Son

American and Israeli forces killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei in a single strike.

Tehran's defeated regime evidently never forgave that, and reportedly aimed its revenge at Trump and Melania's own son.

Now the Secret Service is scrambling after a new bounty got put on Barron Trump.

The IRGC Aired a Video Titled Where and How Should We Kill Barron Trump

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps put the video out on Iranian state television with a title that leaves nothing to the imagination – "Where and how should we kill Barron Trump?"

The graphics are crude, computer-generated maps.

But what they claim to show is not crude at all.

The video purports to display the location of Barron's residence, Trump Tower, his school – New York University, where he's a sophomore – and details about his personal security detail.

It goes further, claiming "a person working with the Guard has infiltrated Barron Trump's circle" and is feeding information back to Tehran, boasting that Barron is "fully monitored."

The regime offered no real evidence to back that claim up.

Then the video gets to the point.

The IRGC offered $10 million for Barron Trump's life, and added that "many would be willing" to try and collect it.

Iran Already Named Barron in a Video This Summer and Nobody Caught It

This is not even the first video.

Back in July, Tasnim News Agency, an outlet tied to the IRGC, put out a separate propaganda clip targeting First Lady Melania Trump.

That video ended with a direct line aimed at the son, not the mother: "Barron Trump, wait for us!"

Nobody outside a handful of Iran watchers noticed it at the time.

And with the Secret Service’s recent track record, that’s all the more concerning.

Now the follow-through video has arrived, and it isn't subtle about what it means to finish.

Trump has already responded to this pattern in the bluntest terms available to a sitting president, warning that Iran would face "decimation" if it ever attempted to make good on threats against his family.

Tehran's own state television has aired imagery depicting the Trump family in coffins – propaganda that reads less like posturing and more like a regime rehearsing the outcome it wants.

Secret Service Confirms It Is Watching the Threat Closely

Secret Service spokesman Nate Herring confirmed the agency has seen the video and is treating it as exactly what it looks like.

"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees," Herring said.

He declined to detail what protective steps are being taken around Barron, explaining that "out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence."

The White House referred every question to the Secret Service and offered no separate comment of its own.

Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn didn't sugarcoat the bigger picture when he addressed it publicly.

"I don't think it's any secret, it's been in the media, that Iran has publicly said they want to kill President Trump," Quinn said.

This Is Not the First Time Iran Has Gone After Trump's Circle

This did not come out of nowhere.

Iran has been threatening the Trump family since the January 2020 strike that killed IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, and Tehran's regime has said publicly, repeatedly, that it wants revenge.

That threat has already turned into criminal charges once.

The Justice Department charged three people in an Iran-linked murder-for-hire plot targeting Donald Trump himself, prosecutors say, specifically as payback for the Soleimani strike.

Now add February's strike that killed Khamenei on top of five years of that unresolved Soleimani grudge, and Tehran has two separate reasons to want blood from an American president who just keeps beating them.

A propaganda video with cartoon graphics is easy to dismiss.

A regime that has already funded real assassination plots against Trump, that just lost its Supreme Leader to American and Israeli forces, and that is now putting a dollar figure on his teenage son's life is not something the Secret Service can afford to treat as noise.

They didn't. That's exactly why they're already on it.
