The US Secret Service has been made aware of an Iranian state television broadcast featuring a video allegedly detailing a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, according to a spokesperson.

The three-minute video, aired by Iranian state television, claimed Barron Trump was being monitored and offered a $10 million bounty for his assassination. As hostilities between the US and Iran persist, this latest threat adds to a series of warnings the US has received regarding potential attacks on Trump, including a reported concern from Israel about the possibility of an assassination attempt even before a secret Air Force One trip to Turkey.
