Iran denies report of plot to kill Trump’s son Barron
International Desk ||
Iran’s security chief Mohsen
Rezaei has denied reports of an alleged plot to assassinate US President Donald
Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, calling the claim completely false.In an interview broadcast by
Lebanon’s Al Manar TV on Thursday, Rezaei rejected the report, a clarification
that is expected to ease tensions surrounding the issue.The controversy began after
Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB Channel 3 aired a three-minute video on Monday
titled, “Where and how should Barron Trump be killed?”The video, carried by media
linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claimed that
intelligence had been used to closely monitor the 20-year-old Barron. It
reportedly showed details of his residence in Washington, university, regular
travel routes and the security arrangements provided by the US Secret Service.The report also claimed that
a $10 million bounty had been offered for Barron’s killing, although it did not
identify who or which organisation had allegedly offered the money.The video prompted widespread
concern, with the US Secret Service confirming that it was aware of the
material and was taking any potential threat seriously.Experts, however, have
described the video as propaganda rather than credible intelligence, arguing
that it was intended to exert psychological pressure on Trump and his family.The incident also follows a
similar video targeting US First Lady Melania Trump that was reportedly
circulated by Tasnim News Agency, which is linked to the IRGC, about a month
earlier.The latest video targeting
Barron is being viewed by experts as part of the same propaganda network and
strategy.Sources: NDTV, Reuters
