Aug. 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. Secret Service said it is "aware" of a video posted by Iran that threatens the life of Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump.
"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees," Nate Herring, a Secret Service spokesperson, told the media in a statement. "Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence."
The almost 3-minute video starts with an English-language graphic that says, "Where to kill Barron Trump?" and show locations where Barron Trump, 20, might be, such as Trump Tower. At the end of the video, it suggests there might be a $10 million reward.
The video was broadcast over the weekend in Iran by IRIB, a state media organization believed to be aligned with Iranian hardliners. The head of IRIB is appointed by the ayatollah.
