The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a video recently aired on Iranian state television that mentions Barron Trump, the youngest son of President-elect Donald Trump. A spokesperson for the agency, Nate Herring, confirmed on Tuesday that the Secret Service is aware of the footage and is reviewing it, noting that the agency investigates any material that could be perceived as a threat toward those under its protection.

While the Secret Service has acknowledged the existence of the video, it declined to provide specific details regarding the investigation, citing the need to maintain operational security. The agency stated that it does not discuss matters of protective intelligence.

Reports regarding the specific content of the video differ slightly in their characterization of the threat. Fox News reports that the video depicts locations tied to Barron Trump and suggests a $10 million reward for information leading to his location. The South China Morning Post (SCMP) describes the video as discussing a potential plot to assassinate him. Both outlets agree that the video originated from Iranian state-controlled media, though they emphasize different aspects of the video's intent and the nature of the information presented within it.
