The U.S. Secret Service says it is aware of and investigating an Iranian state media video that appears to threaten Barron Trump, the 20-year-old son of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The disturbing video surfaced amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran and appears to single out Barron while suggesting a $10 million reward connected to his whereabouts. U.S. officials have not publicly disclosed specific protective measures being taken in response.

Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring confirmed that the agency was aware of the footage, explaining that officials investigate anything that could reasonably be viewed as a threat against people under Secret Service protection.

The agency declined to provide further details, citing the need to protect sensitive security and intelligence operations.

According to reports, the video was broadcast by Iranian state media over the weekend and included imagery linked to places publicly associated with Barron Trump. Authorities have not publicly established that the video represents an active assassination operation, but its threatening nature has prompted federal attention.

The development comes during an increasingly tense period in relations between the United States and Iran. Iranian hardline media have previously aired threatening content involving President Trump and members of his family, but reports indicate this may be the first time Barron has been publicly singled out in such a direct manner.

A federal law enforcement source cited by CNN described the footage as part of a broader pattern of threats directed at the Trump family amid the continuing conflict involving the United States and Iran.

The White House has referred questions about the latest incident to the Secret Service.

With the video now attracting international attention, the Secret Service’s confirmation underscores how seriously authorities are treating the situation, even as officials remain tight-lipped about the security response.

For now, federal officials have made clear that any perceived threat against a Secret Service protectee will be examined, while details surrounding the Iranian video remain under investigation.
