Secret Service confirms awareness of Iranian state media video threatening Barron Trump’s life
The Secret Service says it is investigating the video as a potential threat, after Iranian media appeared to offer a $10 million reward.
- On Tuesday, the Secret Service confirmed it is "aware" of a threatening video posted by Iranians targeting Barron Trump, with spokesperson Nate Herring stating the service investigates all perceived threats.
- Following an airstrike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, Iran has frequently directed threats toward President Donald Trump and his family members.
- The video reportedly depicts various locations where Barron might be located and suggests a $10 million reward, according to the threat material.
- CNN previously reported the agency's knowledge of the threat, while Herring noted that "Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence."
- Matt Quinn, deputy director at the Secret Service, told reporters last month that "Iran has publicly said they want to kill President Trump," highlighting ongoing sensitivity surrounding such threats.
