Iran broadcasts sickening video claiming Barron Trump is ‘fully monitored,’ places $10M bounty on his head
WASHINGTON (New York Post) — Iranian state media broadcast a chilling three-minute video fantasizing about killing Barron Trump in a disturbing escalation against President Trump and his family — as Tehran braces for an onslaught of additional crushing economic penalties.
The clip titled “Where to kill Barron Trump” claimed to show the movements of President Trump’s 20-year-old son, claiming he is “fully monitored” and showing depictions of the dorms at New York University’s Constance Milstein & Family Global Academic Center, according to a translation of the video by Euronews.

It further stated that it uncovered Barron’s accounts for Xbox, FIFA video games, and Discord, as well as those of his classmates, naming two of them.
In addition to the disturbing video, multiple reports indicated that the regime placed a $10 million bounty on Barron Trump’s head. The Post could not independently verify the alleged bounty, the claims about his movements or the statements about his classmates.

“This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!” the video concluded.
The sickening video of the president’s youngest son was distributed in media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to Middle East news outlet Al Bawaba.
It comes on the heels of another video paraded around IRGC-linked media from July, in which Tasnim News Agency released a video, “Where to Kill Melania?” that similarly claimed to know Melania Trump’s location.
That same month, a billboard emerged in Tehran’s Islamic Revolution Square showing the president appearing to be dead in a coffin with the English caption, “We Kill Trump.”
Iranian-backed media also pushed out a video titled “Where to Kill Trump?!” similarly claiming to present the routes that his presidential motorcade takes when traveling to and from his residences in Florida and New York.
The president has faced assassination threats from Iran in the past, which was enraged by his January 2020 drone strike against the late Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Now Iran is reeling from the death of its late Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, in an Israeli strike back in February.
Recently, Trump has been ratcheting up his pressure campaign on Iran, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveiling an “economic D-Day” plan to decimate Tehran’s economy, which has already been battered by soaring inflation and the impact of a blockade.
“We are now entering the endgame. At dawn begins an economic D-Day — the single greatest financial offensive ever marshaled against an adversary,” Bessent teased.

Ahead of the Trump administration’s rollout of crippling measures, Iran’s currency, the rial, plunged to a new low, trading at roughly 1.5 million rials to the dollar.
Top civilian leaders in Iran, including Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, sounded the alarm about Tehran’s rapidly declining economic situation and appeared to publicly call for a deal with the US last week.
“No matter how much military power we have, if people are hungry and we do not have financial circulation and economic growth, we will not endure,” Ghalibaf warned.
