Iran State Media Claims $10 Million Bounty on Barron Trump
· World · The Independent, NDTV, Indian Express
Iranian state media broadcast footage claiming a $10 million bounty has been placed on Barron Trump, the 20-year-old son of US President Donald Trump. The segment, aired on Channel 3 and linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, displayed the location of his university alongside Secret Service positions and escort vehicles. Euronews reported that the broadcast claimed his whereabouts were fully monitored and alleged that an individual had met him privately to gather information. The report noted that Euronews could not independently verify the claims, and the White House was contacted for comment. The threats form part of ongoing tensions stemming from the U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in 2020.
Why it matters
The broadcast escalates security concerns surrounding the immediate family of US leadership amidst ongoing geopolitical friction between Washington and Tehran.
