Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei denies reports of a potential plot to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump. In interviews broadcast by Lebanon’s Al Manar TV, Rezaei calls the claims a lie.
The reports follow a U.S. warning issued by the Secret Service. According to multiple outlets, the Secret Service says it is aware of a video aired by Iranian state television that discusses a purported plot targeting Barron. The outlets frame Iran’s denial in response to this U.S. notification, while offering no shared additional evidence or details beyond the competing claims.
Overall, the coverage centers on a dispute between an Iranian official denial and U.S. security awareness of an Iranian state television video. While the stories align on the key elements—the Iranian rejection of the plot claim and the U.S. Secret Service statement—they differ mainly in how the denial is attributed and described.
