Iranian media publishes scenarios for assassinating Melania Trump with nerve gas

A video published by Iran's Tasnim news agency, close to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, sparked a massive wave of international condemnation after it contained direct instructions and threats targeting U.S. First Lady Melania Trump and her son Barron.

The two-minute video, which heavily relied on artificial intelligence techniques, was titled "Where can Melania be killed?"

The video showcased detailed scenarios targeting the First Lady, claiming to identify her "weaknesses" through her excessive interest in fashion, listing the names and addresses of luxury stores in New York that she prefers, in addition to revealing details related to the code name assigned to her by the U.S. Secret Service and her protection methods against explosive devices.

The video was not limited to showcasing shopping locations, but suggested ways to carry out attack operations, such as poisoning clothes in stores using the highly toxic nerve agent (VX), or exploiting and attempting to bribe members of her hair styling and makeup team with money to cooperate.

At the end of the clip, a direct and explicit threat was made to her son Barron Trump with the phrase: "Barron Trump, wait for us."

These explicit threats come amid sharply escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran, especially with previous statements by President Donald Trump about the existence of strict instructions to launch massive military strikes against Iran if any member of his family or U.S. officials are subjected to any assassination attempt.
