"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees," said Nate Herring, a Secret Service spokesperson.
"Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence," Herring added.
The video depicts various locations where Barron Trump, 20, might be in order to kill him. The end of the video suggests there might be a $10 million reward.
Iran has publicly directed threats towards President Trump and members of his family since his first term.
Trump has been a top target of Iran’s leadership since he ordered the airstrike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in early 2020, and sources have indicated a particular sensitivity surrounding threats directed at the president from Iran and its proxies.
"I don't think it's any secret, it's been in the media, that Iran has publicly said they want to kill President Trump," Deputy Director of the U.S. Secret Service Matt Quinn told reporters at an event last month.
