The U.S. Secret Service has confirmed it is investigating a recent video broadcast by Iranian state media that reportedly contains threats against Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump. In a statement issued Tuesday, Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring acknowledged the content, stating that the agency is actively investigating any material perceived as a threat to protected persons.
Mr. Herring added that due to concerns surrounding operational security, the service does not discuss specific details regarding protective intelligence matters. The incident stemmed from an earlier broadcast by Iranian state television, which aired footage alleging to track Barron Trump’s movements.
Furthermore, the state media outlet reportedly announced a reward of $10 million (equivalent to 8.5 million euros) for him. The confirmation from the secret agency indicates that the threat has been taken seriously by federal authorities. While the official statement confirmed the investigation’s scope—addressing threats to protected individuals—it refrained from commenting further on the specifics of the intelligence gathered or the nature of the threat itself.
The agency’s response underscores an ongoing monitoring effort related to foreign-sourced media targeting high-profile American figures.
