A scandalous broadcast has come to the fore on Iranian state television and media channels close to the Revolutionary Guard. In the broadcast, which is alleged to have explicitly targeted Barron Trump, the 20-year-old son of US President Donald Trump, many details were shared, including where the young Trump is located, the dormitory he stays in, the routes he uses, and even security vulnerabilities. The development, which escalates the tension between the US and Iran, drew widespread reaction in the international community with the phrase 'Where and how should Barron Trump be killed?'
It has been claimed that Iranian state television and media outlets close to the Revolutionary Guard have broadcast content threatening US President Donald Trump's 20-year-old son, Barron Trump. The broadcast included statements about where the young Trump is located and how he could be targeted, as well as various claims about security measures.
THEY TARGETED HIM FROM HIS UNIVERSITY TO HIS PROTECTION ROUTES
In the content reportedly broadcast on Channel 3 of Iranian state television, the phrase "Where is Barron Trump and how should he be killed?" was used. It was claimed that the program shared information about the university where Barron Trump studies, the routes he uses, and the positions of Secret Service teams.
The broadcast also put forward unverified claims that a female Secret Service agent breached the security perimeter and made private contact with Barron Trump, and that he secretly communicated via Xbox away from Trump's bodyguards.
THREATS AGAINST THE TRUMP FAMILY BACK ON THE AGENDA
It was noted that these broadcasts followed similar threatening content previously directed at Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump. It was alleged that as tensions between Iran and the US escalate, threats against the Trump family have also increased.
The use of posters depicting Trump in a coffin in Tehran's Islamic Revolution Square had also been one of the symbolic reflections of the tension between the two countries.
Some Iranian commentators have defended the threats against the Trump family on state television through the discourse of "retaliation." Mohammad Javad Larijani, former Secretary-General of the Human Rights Department of Iran's Judiciary, also made statements arguing that Iran has the right to retaliate.
HARSH MESSAGE TO IRAN
US President Donald Trump had previously responded with strong words to the threats coming from the Iranian side. Trump stated that any possible assassination attempt against him or his family would have severe consequences for Iran.
Trump said he had instructed the US military to respond extremely severely to Iran if such an attempt occurred, using the words, "If there is any attempt on my life, the whole of Iran will be blown to bits."
