A video utilizing artificial intelligence has been released, featuring direct threats against Melania Trump and her son, Barron Trump. The content of the video includes images of the First Lady traveling in her motorcade and visiting various locations throughout New York City, including specific luxury retail stores she is known to frequent. The video is titled "Where to Kill Melania" and explicitly warns of potential harm to both her and her son.

NDTV focuses more on the specific content of the video, detailing the imagery used to track the First Lady's movements in New York. There is no official confirmation regarding the specific entity or group responsible for the creation of the video, though both outlets identify the threat as Iranian in origin.
