Secret Service Probes $10 Million Iranian Threat Video Targeting Barron Trump

A Secret Service spokesperson said the agency is aware of an Iranian state-media video threatening Barron Trump and investigates anything perceived as a threat to its protectees.
The video shows locations tied to Barron Trump’s movements and ends by offering a $10 million reward for his location, intensifying concerns around the president’s family security.
Former agent Tim Miller said the threat environment facing President Trump is unprecedented, citing foreign actors, domestic hate groups, assassination plots and even imagery of Trump in a casket.
Iranian threats have mounted amid retaliation narratives tied to the 2020 killing of Qasem Soleimani, the reported death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and current U.S. pressure including economic threats and a Strait of Hormuz blockade.
The wider risk has already altered presidential security: Trump reportedly switched from Air Force One in Turkey last month after a credible Iranian surface-to-air missile threat.
