A video released by Iran has reportedly encouraged supporters of the Islamic regime to assassinate President Donald Trump’s wife and son. Titled ‘How to Kill Melania Trump’, the anti-US propaganda clip claims it has ‘advanced signs’ about the First Lady’s whereabouts due to missing public bins and welded manholes.
Threat details
The footage features images of Melania travelling in a motorcade and visiting locations around New York City, including luxury designer stores she is said to frequent. It allegedly suggests that her shopping trips could provide opportunities for attacks. The video even references using a nerve agent to poison clothing she might buy.
Message to Barron Trump
Towards the end of the clip, Barron Trump is addressed with the apparent threat: ‘This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us.’
Security and context
Melania and Barron are both protected by round-the-clock US Secret Service, while President Trump’s homes—including the White House, Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, and his Bedminster golf club—are heavily guarded. The video comes amid heightened US-Iran tensions following recent military action. Last week, anti-American billboards reportedly appeared in Tehran calling for the deaths of President Trump and his family members.
