Iranian State TV Airs Segment Targeting Barron Trump with $10 Million Bounty Claim
Iranian state television aired a three-minute segment targeting US President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, claiming to track his movements and offering a $10 million bounty. The broadcast used stylized graphics to depict surveillance, social connections, and attempts to bypass Secret Service protection. While the video alleged detailed monitoring and included locations such as Barron's university, these claims have not been independently verified. Similar threats against Trump family members have appeared in Iranian state-linked media amid ongoing US-Iran tensions.
