A video released in Iran and widely circulated on social media has sparked strong reactions, as it presents hypothetical scenarios outlining how the U.S. First Lady, Melania Trump, could be assassinated. This is like a follow up to a previous similar video regarding “instructions” on how to the US President could be assassinated. The material, attributed to the Iranian news agency Tasnim, includes references to her movements, suggestions for possible attacks, and direct threats against her son, Barron Trump.

According to reports, the video was initially published by the Iranian news agency Tasnim, which is considered close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Titled “How to Kill Melania Trump,” the video claims to highlight what it describes as the “vulnerabilities” of the U.S. First Lady, presenting possible scenarios for terrorist attacks or assassination attempts.

The content uses information that is already publicly available, including the Secret Service code names of Donald and Melania Trump, while also showing images of her motorcade and locations in New York where she is known to shop.

The video even names luxury fashion stores that Melania Trump allegedly visits, claiming that her shopping trips could represent “suitable targets for operations by fighters of global freedom.” It also refers to the potential use of a neurotoxic agent to contaminate clothing she might purchase.

Threats Against Barron Trump

At the end of the video, a direct threat is also made against 20-year-old Barron Trump.

“This is only the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us,” it states.

Both Melania and Barron Trump are permanently protected by the U.S. Secret Service. In addition, all Trump family properties—including the White House, Trump Tower in New York, the golf club in Bedminster and Mar-a-Lago in Florida—have heightened security measures in place.

According to U.S. media reports, the White House and the Secret Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the video.

Threats Against the Trump Family Escalate

Threats against the U.S. president’s family have intensified following the outbreak of the war with Iran.

Last week, billboards placed in various locations across Tehran called for the death of Donald Trump and members of his family, including Melania Trump and his children Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron. The central slogan read: “Blood for blood.”

Melania Trump has reduced her public appearances in recent months. She was notably absent from the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, with a source close to her attributing the absence to a “scheduling conflict.”

New Video Depicts Elimination of U.S. Leadership

Meanwhile, a new propaganda video released from Iran portrays a scenario in which the entire political leadership of the United States is eliminated.

One detail of the video drew particular attention: in one scene, Donald Trump is shown sleeping alone, without Melania Trump beside him. The First Lady’s absence was widely discussed on social media, with several users suggesting it was an intentional symbol, although the video itself provides no explanation.

Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that he believes he is Iran’s number one target, particularly following the joint U.S.-Israeli operation that resulted in the killing of the country’s supreme leader and other senior regime officials.

Earlier this month, according to a report by The New York Times, the U.S. president was forced to change aircraft while departing Turkey, where he had attended the NATO summit, using an older Air Force One due to threats attributed to Iran.

In comments to the New York Post, Trump said he had already left specific instructions in the event of a successful assassination attempt against him.

“I have been on their list for a long time. That is the reality we face,” he said, adding: “I have left instructions that, if anything happens, they should literally bomb them at levels they have never seen before.”
