A new video emerging from Iran is reportedly inciting regime supporters to assassinate former First Lady Melania Trump and her son Barron.
The video, titled "How to Kill Melania Trump," allegedly shows footage of the former First Lady in a motorcade and at various locations in New York, including fashion stores where she shops. The New York Post, which reported on the video, stated that these shopping trips were described as "suitable for operations by world freedom fighters."
According to the report, the video suggests poisoning any clothing Melania Trump might purchase with a nerve agent. It concludes with a direct threat to Barron Trump, stating, "This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us."
Both Melania and Barron Trump are under constant Secret Service protection. This latest threat follows posters that appeared in Tehran last week, bearing the slogan "Blood for Blood," demanding the death of President Trump and his family, including all his children.
Donald Trump himself has faced threats from Iran on multiple occasions, particularly after U.S. and Israeli forces killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei early in the last war with Iran. At that time, Trump threatened Iran with destruction in the event of an attack.
This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us.
