Iranian state television aired a three-minute animated segment asking how and where to target the president's 20-year-old son.
The broadcast, which ran on Channel 3 of Iran's state TV and spread through outlets connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, goes by the translated title "Where to kill Barron Trump?" according to opposition outlet Iran International. The segment claims that sleeper agents have embedded themselves near the younger Trump and that his movements are "fully monitored," as reported here. It also offers a $10 million reward connected to targeting him.
But here's where it gets truly bizarre. The video also brags about identifying Barron Trump's Xbox, Discord, and FIFA gaming accounts, along with those belonging to his friends. That's right. A nation-state military apparatus wants you to know they cracked the case on a college kid's gaming profile. Somewhere in Tehran, an intelligence officer is watching FIFA replays and calling it fieldwork.
Now, before anyone panics too hard, both The Jerusalem Post and The New York Post noted they could not independently find the original video on Channel 3's official platforms. They also couldn't verify the surveillance claims, the account details, or the reported bounty. So the whole thing might be propaganda theater performed for a domestic audience that already gets fed a steady diet of this stuff.
The U.S. Secret Service confirmed awareness of the material and said it investigates all threats against people under its protection.
This isn't the first time the IRGC media machine went after the Trump family. Back in July 2026, the IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency produced a similar segment focused on First Lady Melania Trump, detailing her locations and routines in New York. That video ended with a cheerful little teaser: "This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!" They're literally running a serialized threat campaign with cliffhanger endings.
Meanwhile, billboards in Tehran have displayed images of the Trump family alongside slogans like "Blood for blood" and "We Kill Trump." The regime has made repeated public calls for revenge tied to the 2020 U.S. strike that killed IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, along with more recent incidents involving Iranian leadership. State media has also aired videos claiming to map out presidential motorcade routes.
U.S. authorities have previously charged individuals with ties to Iranian entities over alleged plots involving the president and other officials.
So to recap the situation: a government that can barely keep its own internet running wants the world to believe it has infiltrated a 20-year-old's friend group, tracked his gaming habits, and placed a eight-figure bounty on his head. All broadcast on state television with stylized animations and graphics, like a particularly unhinged YouTube documentary nobody asked for.
The Secret Service is on it. Tehran is making billboards. And somewhere, Barron Trump's FIFA ranking just became classified intelligence.
