Iran threatens Trump and Netanyahu's sons, seeks revenge amid economic pressure

Iran is projecting confidence in the face of economic sanctions imposed by Donald Trump, vowing revenge against its enemies. The threats have now extended to the sons of the US president and the Israeli prime minister.

Iranian media released a video titled 'Where to kill Barron Trump,' highlighting popular New York locations frequented by the president's youngest son, including Trump Tower. The video even offered a $10 million reward for anyone acting against the 20-year-old Barron. This move appears to be a response to US State Department bounties placed on Iranian officials.

I told Trump that I doubt an agreement with those savages.

Meanwhile, Yair Netanyahu, the 35-year-old son of the Israeli prime minister, was reportedly the target of an assassination plot while in the United States. The plan to kill him in Florida prompted his swift return to Israel. US intelligence reportedly believed Iranian agents were in the Miami area surveilling Yair, triggering the alarm. The threat was taken so seriously that Netanyahu was immediately flown back to Israel, unable to even collect his personal belongings.

The US will obtain nothing.

These threats against Barron Trump and Yair Netanyahu signal a distant prospect for renewed negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly told Trump he doubts a deal with "savages," while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian assured that the US would "obtain nothing."

Tehran intends to use the Strait of Hormuz to advance its opposition to Washington and create difficulties for Trump ahead of the midterm elections. "If they do not accept our conditions," the crucial passage "will not reopen," declared Revolutionary Guards spokesperson Hossein Mohebi, announcing an agreement with Oman on revenue sharing from transit tolls in the Strait. The US, however, presents a different narrative. Trump stated that Hormuz is "operational and perfectly functioning" and that "mines have been cleared," though he acknowledged that "occasionally a drone or a rocket or something like that is launched."

Trump also expressed confidence that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and told Al Jazeera that he is in no hurry to restart negotiations with Tehran, as the United States is "winning" and the Iranian economy "is falling apart."
