Various "news" reports are claiming Iranian state television...

Editor's note: ...aired a segment dangling a $10 million bounty for the assassination of President Trump's son, Barron Trump and flashing graphics that supposedly mapped his routines and security. No independent authority has confirmed any real plot exists. The entire story hangs on unverified secondary accounts of a broadcast that itself has never been independently authenticated. Zero hard evidence, zero intercepted orders, zero operational trail ties this to Iran. The material could have been produced by anyone with basic video tools and a motive to manufacture outrage. In the absence of proof it functions as a classic planted distraction, timed to seize headlines and pull focus from other developments. Niyak Ghorbani who supports Israel is an Iranian dissident journalist and activist operating from London who was the first to report and share the alleged Iranian state TV video threatening Barron Trump with a $10 million bounty. Given his strong anti-regime activism and desire for U.S. action against Iran, it is likely Niyak Ghorbani fabricated or heavily manipulated the Barron Trump bounty story to inflame American opinion and push for further U.S. attacks on the Islamic Republic.

'Where to kill Barron?' Iran airs video offering $10m. reward to kill US president's son - report

The video, linked on X/Twitter by anti-regime London-based journalist Niyak Ghorbani, showed various locations Barron had been at specific points in the past, including Trump Tower.

Iranian state-affiliated TV Channel 3 has released a video threatening US President Donald Trump's son, Barron Trump, detailing specific surveillance against him and offering a $10 million reward for his death, Iran International reported on Monday.

The Jerusalem Post could not locate the original video on Channel 3's platforms.

The video, however, was linked on X/Twitter by anti-regime London-based journalist Niyak Ghorbani, and showed various locations Barron had been at specific points in the past, including Trump Tower and his school campus.

At all these locations, the video highlighted elements of Barron's security detail, including claiming that Secret Service agents disguised themselves as students in his school in order to blend into his surroundings.

The video also claimed to have found Barron's online Xbox, Discord, and FIFA video game accounts, as well as those of his classmates, with two of them being named as Liam Carter and Bo Louden.

While Liam Carter appeared to be a fake profile, Louden, a conservative media influencer, is a known friend of Barron's.

"Millions of FIFA players against Trump are waiting to receive a ten-million-dollar prize from us," the video concluded.

Previous video threatened US First Lady Melania Trump

The video was styled similarly to a previous video put out by the regime threatening US First Lady Melania Trump last month.

That video called on "freedom fighters" to target the shops the first lady frequents. It claimed to share "information from several anonymous security networks," showing schemes of how Melania's security operates and the places that she usually goes in New York.

It also claimed that the first lady's weakness is "her love for fashion," saying that she frequents top New York fashion stores that could be attacked by "freedom fighters."

The video ended saying: "This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!"
