WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Secret Service has confirmed it is
aware that Iranian state media has aired a video that appears to
threaten the life of Barron Trump, President Donald Trump's
youngest son.
“The U.S. 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 U.S. assassination of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
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.
