- On Tuesday, the U.S. Secret Service confirmed it is "aware" of a threatening video posted by Iranians targeting Barron Trump, with spokesperson Nate Herring stating the service investigates all perceived threats toward protectees.
- Since President Donald Trump ordered the 2020 airstrike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, Iran has frequently directed threats toward the president and his family through state media.
- The roughly three-minute segment, aired on Channel 3 of Iran's state broadcaster, carries the English-language title "Where to kill Barron Trump?!" and reportedly depicts locations where Barron might be, suggesting a $10 million reward.

- Deputy Director of the U.S. Secret Service Matt Quinn told reporters last month that "Iran has publicly said they want to kill President Trump," underscoring the ongoing sensitivity of threats from Iran and its proxies.
