Secret Service probes Iranian video threatening Trump's son

The U.S. Secret Service is actively investigating a video that aired on Iranian state television, which reportedly contains threats against President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump. The security agency confirmed its awareness of the video and stated it is examining all potential threats directed at those under its protection.

The three-minute video allegedly targets the 20-year-old Barron Trump, displaying graphics that pinpoint locations he is known to visit, including Trump Tower in New York City. Towards the end of the video, a bounty of $10 million is suggested, according to U.S. media reports. Barron Trump is the son of Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

This incident occurs amidst ongoing hostile rhetoric between the United States and Iran. The two nations have maintained adversarial communication throughout the nearly six-month war initiated by the U.S. and Israel in February. The Secret Service, responsible for the security of the U.S. president and his family, is treating the matter with seriousness, given the nature of the alleged threats and the context of international tensions.
