Iran threatens to kill Barron Trump while he plays Xbox in chilling TV report

Iranian state-affiliated media published a report targeting Barron Trump, the 20-year-old son of U.S. President Donald Trump, featuring AI-generated clips of him playing Xbox and claiming a $10 million (£7.3 million) bounty on his head. The report, aired on outlets linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and state-run TV Channel 3, follows a previous propaganda video threatening Melania Trump.
