  "account": "The U.S. Secret Service has acknowledged it is aware of an Iranian state media video threatening the life of Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump. In a statement, Secret Service spokesman Nate Herring affirmed that the agency is investigating any content that could be considered a threat towards their protectees. However, Herring declined to disclose details regarding protective intelligence due to operational security concerns.\n\nIn the wake of the US assassination of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian media have, on multiple occasions, circulated material threatening the president and his family members. This trend intensified following the war in Iran that the Trump administration initiated in collaboration with Israel. It is reported that the Secret Service had prior knowledge of the threat to Barron Trump.",
