Iran Releases Video Targeting President Trump’s Family

First Lady Melania Trump and Barron Trump are the targets of an Iranian video calling for its supporters to take them out. How will the Trump Administration respond to the threat?

As reported by The New York Post:

First lady Melania Trump and son Barron are the latest targets of Iran’s sick anti-US propaganda.

A new video out of Iran is encouraging supporters of the Islamic regime to assassinate President Trump’s wife.

Entitled “How to Kill Melania Trump,” the video shows images of the first lady in the motorcade and in some locations around New York City, even naming some of the designer stores that she shops.

The shopping excursions could be “suitable for operations by global freedom fighters,” the video noted. It also suggested using a nerve agent to poison any clothes the first lady might purchase.

The East Wing and the Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

At the end of the video, Barron Trump, 20, is also threatened.

“This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us.”

Both the first lady and Barron have full-time Secret Service details. All the Trump residences – the White House, Trump Tower in New York, the Bedminster golf club and the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida – are heavily secured.

The president’s family has been repeatedly targeted since the war with Iran began.

Last week, billboards appeared around Tehran demanding the death of President Trump and his relatives, including Melania and all his children: Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron.

“Blood for blood,” it read.

Melania Trump has not had many public events this month.

She missed Friday night’s White House Correspondents Association dinner. A source close to her told The Post she had a “scheduling conflict.”

This video targets the President’s family and shows in very graphic detail how they could potentially be assassinated. The suggested targets include First Lady Melania Trump and their son, 20-year-old Barron. It talks about the motorcade and even call signs used within the Secret Service. It shows exactly where they shop, what their activities are like, where they might be, and how it could be accomplished.

The video was released by the Tasnim News Agency, which is one of Iran’s state media outlets and owned by the IRGC.

This is truly disturbing.

The real concern here is: Who is this video meant to speak to? Are there operatives already here? Or perhaps Iran is just hopeful that some individuals here who are aligned with the Iranian cause will take the initiative to take out the First Lady.

We know that the Iranians have wanted to carry out assassination attempts on the President and members of his Administration, including our own colleague, ACLJ Senior Counsel Mike Pompeo. But now we see the threats expanding beyond just the President or a cabinet member. It shows just how evil and bloodthirsty the Iranian regime truly is. They want to cause havoc and cause pain in the United States, including against the President’s family.

Today’s Sekulow broadcast included more analysis of this shocking threat against the President’s family. We were also joined by ACLJ Senior Counsel CeCe Heil to discuss her work across the globe, having just returned from Morocco. And ACLJ Senior Counsel Jeff Ballabon, the head of ACLJ Jerusalem, joined us to discuss President Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
