ALBAWABA - Tasnim News Agency, an outlet affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), made headlines after publishing a video showing viewers tips on how to assassinate U.S. First Lady Melania Trump.
The video in question reportedly featured details about Melania's favorite places and shops she often visits in New York and methods the Secret Service uses to protect her. Iran's video flooded social media, but platforms have been quickly taking it down. For example, users on X (formerly Twitter) reported seeing "this video has been deleted" on posts featuring it.
Iran also threatened Melania and Donald Trump's son Barron at the end of the clip, which ended with "This is just the beginning... Barron Trump, wait for us."

Tasnim News Agency's clip incorporated a robotic voice-over that said, "Melania’s obsession with fashion has become her greatest weakness," then listed Melania Trump's favorite stores and their addresses.
It added, "These places could be suitable for operations by global freedom fighters" while giving viewers a tutorial on how to poison clothes in the mentioned stores.
"To contaminate the clothes, you can use the nerve agent VX, an oily, odourless and tasteless liquid. It enters the body through skin contact and kills the prey after two and 18 hours."
According to CNN, the U.S. has paused new strikes on Iran with reports stating that no negotiations have been reached yet. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, marking the first time the two allies meet since the start of the Iran War.
