The U.S. Secret Service said it is aware of a video broadcast by Iranian state media that appears to threaten Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump.
"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees," spokesperson Nate Herring said, adding that details cannot be disclosed for operational security reasons. The agency indicated it is conducting a protective intelligence investigation. Iranian media have previously circulated content that threatened the president and his family following the U.S. killing of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, an event linked to the conflict that began after the United States and Israel launched military actions in Iran.
