Iran's state television broadcast a report describing ways to reach the son of US President Donald Trump, Barron, with reference to a $10 million reward. In the report, which lasts about three minutes, attempts were presented to identify ways to reach Barron Trump, using graphics depicting surveillance, online activity, and people in his surroundings.
The broadcast showed locations and online platforms supposedly linked to the effort, as well as attempts to map the social connections around the president’s son and to infiltrate the Secret Service’s security layers.

The operational claims presented in the broadcast heavily rely on staged graphics and did not provide evidence that the attempt to reach Barron Trump had any basis in reality. Towards the end of the broadcast, it was claimed that "many would be willing" to accept the $10 million reward connected to efforts against him.
The broadcast comes after threats against Trump and senior American officials were previously published in Iran, as well as videos focused on Trump and his wife, Melania.
