Secret Service said it was aware of a video broadcast by Iranian state media that appeared to threaten President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron .

“The U.S.

Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees,” Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring said in a statement to the media.

“Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence.” According to the U.K.-based news outlet Iran International , the nearly three-minute clip—which starts with a graphic that reads “Where to Kill Barron Trump”—describes efforts to reach the 20-year-old presidential son, whom the video narrator claims is under surveillance.

The video also references several locations related to Barron Trump, such as his place of study and the Trump Tower in New York, as well as his security arrangements.

The narrator also suggests a $10 million reward connected to efforts against Barron Trump.
