Iranian media threaten Barron Trump, claim million bounty

A three-minute video reportedly circulated by media linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards shows New York University and claims to have tracked the 20-year-old’s movements and online accounts

Iranian state-linked media have issued threats against Barron Trump, the 20-year-old son of U.S. President Donald Trump, in a video that claims to be monitoring the young man’s movements and reportedly alleges a $10 million bounty has been placed on his head.

The roughly three-minute video, titled “Where and How to Kill Barron Trump?”, was broadcast by Iranian media and translated by Euronews. It includes images of New York University, where Barron Trump studies, and claims that the people behind the video have identified some of his online accounts as well as those belonging to several of his university classmates.

“This is only the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us!” the video says in its closing moments.

According to Al Bawaba, the footage was reposted by media outlets affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The New York Post, meanwhile, reported that several sources close to the Iranian regime had also spoken of an alleged $10 million bounty for the president’s son.

The claims have not been presented as an official Iranian government announcement in the material provided.

Previous threats against the Trump family

The threats against Barron Trump are not the first time media outlets close to Tehran have published content targeting members of the Trump family.

In July, Tasnim, an Iranian news agency linked to the IRGC, published a video titled “Where to Kill Melania?” that claimed to know the location of First Lady Melania Trump.

Around the same time, a billboard appeared in Tehran’s Islamic Revolution Square depicting Trump apparently dead in a coffin, alongside the English-language message “We Kill Trump.”

Another video titled “Where to Kill Trump?” purported to reconstruct routes used by the presidential motorcade as Trump traveled between his residences in Florida and New York.

Trump has faced Iranian threats for years, particularly following the January 2020 killing of Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general who was killed in a U.S. strike ordered by Trump.
