Iran airs disturbing ‘kill Barron Trump’ video placing $10 million bounty on his head
A chilling video has been aired by state-backed media in Iran claiming to know Barron Trump's movements and vowing to kill him.
With the war in the Middle East raging on and the USA preparing to blast Iran with devastating economic penalties, the nation has taken a swipe at Donald Trump's youngest son in a sickening three-minute video.
The video, which was distributed by media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Crops (IRGV) according to Middle East publication Al Bawaba, fantasises about killing 20-year-old Barron and claims to have placed a $10million bounty on his head.
As reported by the New York Post, which quotes a translation from Euronews, the clip is entitled 'Where to Kill Baron Trump?!' - written in a font mimicing blood - and claims he is 'fully monitored.'

It shows depictions of dorm rooms at New York University’s Constance Milstein & Family Global Academic Center, where Barron is a student.
It also claims to have uncovered Barron's accounts on Xbox, FIFA (now EA FC) video games and Discord, while also naming two of his apparent classmates, though the claims have not been substantiated.
“This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!” the video concludes.
'Economic D-Day' set to be in store for Iran
The video comes as the US is increasing the economic heat on Iran amid the war that kicked off in February with the killing of the nation's leader, Ali Khamenei, and caused the blockade of the Straight of Hormuz, leading to soaring oil prices worldwide.
US Treasury Secretary Scott recently declared that Iran's economy will soon be destroyed.
“We are now entering the endgame. At dawn begins an economic D-Day — the single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary,” Bessent said.
Trump himself posted on Truth Social on Monday: “IRAN IS COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!”
Voices from within Iran have grown concerned, too, with parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf sending a worrying warning for the country.
He said: “No matter how much military power we have, if people are hungry and we do not have financial circulation and economic growth, we will not endure."
Donald and Melania Trump have faced similar threats
The clip threatening Barron is far from the first disturbing video to air in Iran aimed at Trump or his family.
The President himself has faced a flurry of death threats, with a billboard appearing in Tehran's Islamic Revolution Square showing him in a coffin with the English writing: 'We Kill Trump.'
A similarly titled video “Where to Kill Trump?!”, claiming to know the route he takes when travelling from Florida to New York, was aired by state media in July.
Another video promising harm against his wife, Melania Trump, also aired in July, released by the Tasnim News Agency, which is a publication associated with the IRGC.
Following the same pattern, the clip claimed to know where Melania spends a lot of her time, showing a string of luxury shops.
"Melania's obsession with fashion has become her biggest weakness," it states. "Melania has a special interest in luxury department stores on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, such as Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue.
"These places could be suitable for operations by global freedom fighters."
The video then scarily gives advice to would-be assassins on how they could spot the signs that Melania may soon be visiting a location and how best to bring harm to her.
That video ended by turning its attention to Donald and Melania's son: "This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us!"
Trump has previously issued instructions on how his country should react if he is ever assassinated by Iran, saying he has ordered subordinates to: "Bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before."
Donald and Melania were spotted having a tense conversation during the Freedom 250 Grand Prix on Sunday.
