A disturbing new front has opened in Iran’s information war against the United States, one that moves beyond the president himself and into the personal lives of his wife and youngest son.
Iranian propagandists have produced and distributed a video explicitly instructing viewers on methods to assassinate First Lady Melania Trump.
The production carries the blunt title “How to Kill Melania Trump” and blends real surveillance footage with operational suggestions aimed at potential attackers.
Rather than relying on vague threats, the video’s creators tracked the first lady’s actual movements through New York City, capturing her motorcade in transit and cataloging specific stops she has made around the city.
Several high-end retailers she has patronized were identified by name within the footage.
Producers framed these shopping trips as potential windows of vulnerability, describing them as scenarios that could suit what the video termed “global freedom fighters.”
One proposed method involved lacing clothing items she might purchase with a nerve agent.
Neither the East Wing nor the U.S. Secret Service has issued a public response to the video since it began circulating.
The footage does not end with Melania Trump. In its closing moments, the video shifts focus to Barron Trump, the president’s 20-year-old son, delivering a direct and ominous warning.
“This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us,” the narration states.
Federal protection already surrounds both individuals named in the video.
Melania and Barron Trump each receive continuous Secret Service coverage, and every property tied to the family operates under heightened security protocols.
That list includes the White House, Trump Tower in Manhattan, the Bedminster golf club in New Jersey, and the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
This video did not emerge in isolation. It follows a pattern of escalating hostility from Tehran that has intensified since armed conflict broke out between the United States and Iran.
Just last week, banners calling for the deaths of Trump family members appeared on billboards across the Iranian capital.
Those Tehran billboards listed Melania Trump by name alongside all five of the president’s children — Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron — leaving little ambiguity about the intended targets.
One banner carried a stark, two-word message: “Blood for blood.”
Amid this backdrop of threats, Melania Trump’s public calendar has thinned considerably in recent weeks.
She skipped the White House Correspondents Association dinner held Friday night, an event she might otherwise have been expected to attend.
Asked about her absence, a source close to the first lady described it to The Post simply as the product of a scheduling conflict, without offering additional detail.
President Trump has not been shielded from this wave of hostility either.
He has openly stated his awareness that he ranks as Iran’s primary target, a status that hardened following a joint American-Israeli strike that eliminated Iran’s supreme leader and several top regime officials.
The threat level altered the president’s own travel plans this month.
During a NATO summit in Turkey, Trump departed using an older Air Force One aircraft rather than the newly delivered plane, a switch made because of specific Iranian threats, according to the New York Times.
Speaking to The Post, Trump disclosed that he has already arranged a response plan should Iran ever succeed in an assassination attempt against him.
“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” Trump said.
He then detailed the scale of retaliation he has pre-authorized.
“… The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before,” Trump said.
Together, the Tehran billboards and the newly surfaced assassination video paint a picture of a regime willing to extend its campaign of intimidation beyond the Oval Office and into the daily lives of the president’s wife and children.
No agency has yet announced whether new protective measures will be added in light of the video’s release, though the pattern of threats shows no sign of slowing as tensions between Washington and Tehran remain unresolved.
