An Iran-linked media outlet just aired a video teaching “freedom fighters” how to assassinate Melania Trump and threatening Barron Trump by name.

Story Snapshot

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency released a video titled **“How to Kill Melania Trump”** that maps her movements and shopping habits.
The clip urges regime “supporters” and “freedom fighters” to use this information to target the First Lady during trips in New York City.
The narration suggests plots involving explosives or even poisoning clothes with the nerve agent VX.
The video ends with a chilling message to Barron Trump: **“Barron Trump, wait for us.”**

Iranian Regime Media Targets the First Family

Tasnim News Agency, described in multiple reports as affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, released a two-minute propaganda video focused on First Lady Melania Trump and her son Barron. The video’s title, translated as “How to Kill Melania Trump” or “Where to Kill Melania,” leaves little doubt about its intent. The narrator speaks in Farsi and frames Melania’s daily life not as a human story, but as a target package for hostile actors who oppose the United States.

Reports say the clip opens by claiming its “documents” came from anonymous security networks and satellite images, as if it were an intelligence briefing. It then shows images of Melania Trump in her motorcade and highlights specific routes she is said to travel in New York City. By mixing the language of security analysis with calls to violence, the video tries to present itself as a serious guide for would-be attackers, not mere political rhetoric or satire.

Mapping Melania’s Habits as “Operational Targets”

Coverage of the video notes that the narrator calls Melania’s “obsession with fashion” her “biggest weakness” and then walks viewers through luxury department stores in Manhattan. The clip names well-known locations such as Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue, describing them as her favorite shopping spots and “suitable for operations by global freedom fighters.” It reportedly points out details like removed trash cans and sealed manholes as signs she may soon visit, treating normal security measures as clues for preparing an attack.

Descriptions from several outlets add that the video suggests multiple plots, including placing explosives along her travel routes or poisoning clothing she might buy. One narrated line, translated from Farsi, says that attackers could “contaminate clothes” using the nerve agent VX, a banned chemical weapon. While some of the information about her habits appears to be drawn from public sources, the way it is packaged turns everyday life—shopping, motorcades, city streets—into a step-by-step assassination guide aimed at enemies of the United States.

Direct Threat to Barron and Escalation Against Trump’s Family

Beyond Melania, the video also threatens Barron Trump directly, expanding the target list from the President to his wife and young son. According to translations cited by multiple reports, the clip ends with a message that says, “This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us.” That closing line is not vague; it singles out Barron by name and suggests further actions may follow, echoing prior regime messaging that called for revenge against President Trump and his family.

This is not the first time Iran-linked media has been tied to threats against Trump family members. Earlier reporting described plots against Ivanka Trump involving actors connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after the killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani. The new Tasnim clip fits a broader pattern, where state-affiliated outlets move from political attacks to explicit talk of killing American leaders and their loved ones, hoping to intimidate the United States and rally radicals abroad.

U.S. Protection and the Limits of What We Know

The United States Secret Service has publicly confirmed that it is aware of the video and that it reviews any material that can be perceived as a threat to people it protects. This kind of protective-intelligence work is standard whenever foreign or domestic actors talk about harming public figures, especially the First Family. However, the statement quoted so far does not say whether the agency judged the clip to be an “actionable” plot or mostly propaganda meant to spread fear and hatred.

One key limit in the record is that most details come from English-language reporting and partial clips, not the full original Tasnim upload with an official certified translation. That means some wording may vary slightly between sources, and some claims about how the information was gathered—such as the talk about “anonymous security networks”—cannot yet be checked line by line. Still, the core facts are consistent: Tasnim released a regime-aligned video, it was titled around “How/Where to Kill Melania,” it mapped her habits and movements, and it ended with a direct threat naming Barron Trump.
