Iranian state media has escalated personal threats against the Trump family. Initially, the Tasnim news outlet, which is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), released a propaganda video targeting Melania Trump. The clip detailed her public habits and suggested tactics such as using the nerve agent VX to poison her clothing.

Following these threats, Iranian state television broadcast a segment titled ‘Where to kill Barron Trump?’. This video reportedly offered a $10 million reward for an attack on the President’s son, with suggestions that the bounty could be doubled if the perpetrator is a woman. The broadcast included attempts to map his social connections and identify methods to bypass Secret Service protection. The U.S. Secret Service is actively investigating these developments.
