An Iranian news outlet linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps published a video containing alleged details about Melania Trump’s daily activities and a threatening message directed at her son, Barron Trump.

The video was shared on the Telegram account of the Tasnim News Agency, which is known for its close ties to the Revolutionary Guard.

The footage showed locations frequently visited by Melania Trump, the wife of U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as stores where she allegedly shops.

At the end of the video, a message addressed to Barron Trump said: “He should wait for us.”

Israeli media reported alleged Iranian assassination plan

The video followed Israeli media reports claiming that Iran had planned to assassinate Trump during his visit to Ankara for the NATO summit.

According to Channel 12, senior Iranian officials viewed Trump’s planned visit to Ankara as a “one-time opportunity” to assassinate him.

The broadcaster reported that a Western intelligence agency detected the alleged plan and warned U.S. authorities in advance.

The report claimed that the warning led to a change in the presidential aircraft.

Channel 13 separately reported, citing senior sources, that intelligence showing signs of the alleged assassination attempt was immediately shared with the U.S.

The intelligence reportedly included a statement attributed to a senior Iranian official: “This is our opportunity; there will be no better opportunity than this,” apparently referring to Trump’s planned visit to Türkiye.

According to reports cited by Channel 13, the Western intelligence agency involved was identified as Israel’s.
