IRAN WAR
Secret Service aware of Iranian video threatening Barron Trump’s life
Iranian media have on multiple occasions circulated content threatening the president and family members.
THE US SECRET Service has said it is aware that Iranian state media has aired a video which appears to threaten the life of Barron Trump, president Donald Trump’s youngest son.
“The US Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees,” Secret Service spokesman Nate Herring said in a statement.
“Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence.”
Since the US-Israeli assassination of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, alongside members of his family, Iranian media have on multiple occasions circulated content threatening the president and family members.
The assassination came at the start of the war in Iran that Trump launched alongside Israel.
CNN previously reported that the Secret Service had knowledge of the Barron Trump threat.
