A verified propaganda video originating from Iran explicitly calls for the assassination of first lady Melania Trump and her son Barron Trump, according to U.S. officials and open-source intelligence analysts. The video, titled 'How to Kill Melania Trump,' was circulated on Iranian state-aligned social media channels in late July 2026.
The U.S. Secret Service confirmed it is aware of the threat and has increased security protocols for the first family. The video is the latest in a series of hostile Iranian propaganda efforts targeting former President Donald Trump and his family, following the 2020 killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
Iranian officials have not officially commented on the video. However, the U.S. State Department condemned the material as 'a clear incitement to violence' and reiterated its commitment to protecting American citizens, including the first family.
