Transcript

Iran has just threatened to kill President Trump's 20-year-old son, Barron. And now there's a 10 million bounty above his head. This is everything we know so far. The announcement came in the form of a three-minute long video that aired last night in Iran's Channel 3. The video itself was produced by the IRGC and they mentioned a few different things, titled quote, where and how we should kill Barron Trump. This, by the way, goes beyond of just a verbal threat. In this three-minute segment they kinda say that they've been following him, identify one, his university and locations associated with it, two vehicles used in his transportation or to escort him, three the positioning or the operation of secret service around him, four the aspects of his movements and his routine, and five they identified accounts associated with him on through FIFA and through Xbox. This all seems trying to point out that if they wanted to do these things, they could because they have this information. It's no secret that Iran does always announce. I've got plans to take up president, and now of course, Baron Trump. Even though they make these claims, it doesn't actually necessarily mean that they are actually able to carry out said thing. And we're hearing from the said in the statement quote, the US Secret Service of the video and investigates be received as a threat towards our protectees. And because this is an ongoing investigation, they're obviously not gonna say anything else publicly, but nonetheless, looks like Iran was or is trying to prove that they can take out Baron Trump.
