Iran just put a $10 million bounty on Barron Trump – a 20-year-old who has never held office or fired a weapon.
That bounty came with his dorm room address, his Secret Service detail's positions, and a claim that a female operative had already gotten to him.
Now the IRGC is telling the world exactly where Barron Trump sleeps – and what they're offering to whoever acts on it.
What the IRGC Broadcast to the World
The video that aired Monday on Channel 3 of Iranian state television wasn't some grainy propaganda clip.
It was a professionally produced, three-minute segment titled "Where and how should we kill Barron Trump?"
It named his university and displayed the location of his dorm at the Constance Milstein & Family Global Academic Center at NYU's Washington Square campus.
It mapped his Secret Service escort vehicle formations and the positions of his protective detail. It named two of his classmates by name.

Then it claimed a young woman had already penetrated his security – sat with him in a private meeting – and passed information back to the video's creators.
The segment alleged his Xbox and Discord accounts were being monitored.
It concluded by announcing that "many would be willing" to claim the $10 million reward for killing the president's son.
The Secret Service confirmed it is investigating anything perceived as a threat toward its protectees.
That's the agency's job.
Iran just broadcast an assassination instruction manual targeting a college student on national television.
This Is Escalation, Not Rhetoric
Iran didn't stumble into this.
The targeting of the Trump family is a deliberate, months-long campaign with a clear escalation pattern.
In July, IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency broadcast a segment titled "Where and how is Melania Trump accessible?" – mapping the First Lady's movements in New York and identifying alleged vulnerabilities in her security.
That video ended with a direct warning to Barron: "Wait for your turn."
He didn't have to wait long.
Before Melania, the New York Post revealed an IRGC plot to assassinate Ivanka Trump – the stated motive being revenge for the 2020 drone strike that killed Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani.

A 32-year-old Iraqi national with alleged IRGC ties was arrested in Turkey and extradited to the United States over that plot.
The pattern is unmistakable: Iran is working through the family.
Not because targeting Barron Trump weakens America's military posture.
Because making the president watch his children become targets is the cruelest form of pressure a terrorist state can apply.
Six Years of Escalation, One Brutal Logic
This didn't start in February when U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and triggered the current war.
The targeting of Trump and his family traces directly to January 2020.
When Trump ordered the drone strike that killed Soleimani in Baghdad, Iranian officials publicly vowed retaliation.
They weren't bluffing. Federal prosecutors charged Pakistani national Asif Merchant in 2024 for recruiting a hitman to kill Trump or other U.S. officials in retaliation for Soleimani's death – a jury convicted him in March of this year.
A second operative, Afghan-American Farhad Shakeri, was charged separately for taking explicit instructions to develop a plan to kill the president.
Trump himself said it plainly: "I've been on their target list for quite a while. That's the situation we're facing."
He got to Khamenei first.

Now Khamenei's successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, has endorsed the call for revenge.
Hundreds of thousands at the state funeral chanted for Trump's assassination.
Billboards in Tehran's Islamic Revolution Square showed Trump in a coffin with the words "We will kill Trump" written in English.
Last month, intelligence indicated Iran planned to target Air Force One as Trump departed the NATO summit in Turkey.
He was quietly moved to a military aircraft. Some cabinet members weren't told.
The press wasn't told.
That's how serious the threat level is.
The IRGC's New Playbook
What Iran broadcast Monday wasn't just a threat.
It was a capability demonstration.
The video used AI-generated imagery, satellite images, and what appears to be genuine surveillance intelligence about a Secret Service protectee's movements and living arrangements.
Whether the claim about the female operative is true or a psychological operation designed to make the Secret Service paranoid about everyone in Barron Trump's orbit – that uncertainty is the point.
Iran's IRGC has claimed 2,000 organized cyber battalions, documented experience mapping motorcade routes, and a track record of successfully recruiting operatives inside the United States.

They convicted Merchant for it this year in federal court in Brooklyn.
The president has left instructions to unleash unprecedented military force if he is ever killed by Iranian operatives.
Eighteen American service members have died in this conflict so far.
And through all of it, the regime has been watching a 20-year-old walk across a college campus and building the case for why someone should act.
Iran just told the world what they're offering for the answer.
