US Secret Service opens probe into Iranian broadcast targeting Trump's son

The US Secret Service has launched an investigation into a roughly three-minute segment aired on Iranian state television that is believed to target Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump. Spokesperson Nate Herring said the agency reviews any content that could constitute a threat against protected persons, but declined to comment on security or intelligence details. The broadcast opens with the English phrase "Where can we kill Barron Trump?" and includes images of locations associated with the younger Trump, such as Trump Tower in New York. According to a federal law enforcement source, the video is being assessed as part of a broader series of Iranian-linked publications that have featured movement information and suggested assassination attempts against the president and his family. The segment follows earlier reported threats directed at President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, as well as news coverage of the killing of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several family members. In July, Trump said he had appeared on Iranian threat lists directed at him and that he did not know how long the danger would persist.
