Barron Trump was targeted in a haunting threat seen on a billboard in Iran as the war continues.
Billboards were spotted on bridges and buildings in Tehran calling for the death of President Donald Trump and his family. One in particular had the faces of Trump's children, Ivanka and Barron, and his wife, first lady Melania.
All three had their eyes closed with the word "KILLED" written in red at the top. "Hey, Terrorist! Get ready to die," read a message next to the photos.

Another billboard featured a red MAGA hat with what appears to be an image of Trump bleeding from the head. A third shows AI-generated images of Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio drowning in a sea of blood.
"Yikes, perhaps Trump shouldn't have poked the hornet's nest," wrote one person on X.
Threats against Trump and his family have run rampant as the war in Iran continues. Reports surfaced last week that Israel shared intelligence with the U.S., indicating that Iran was devising a plan to kill the president.
The development came as Trump was participating in a NATO summit in Turkey. The president departed the summit on the old Air Force One, which is believed to be more secure than the newly refurbished jet gifted by Qatar.
President Trump, who has been the subject of several assassination attempts, said upon leaving Turkey that he considered himself a target. "The Iranian regime remains a clear and present danger to President Trump — and to the countless other Americans it has targeted for assassination and kidnapping on American soil," said Nathan Sales, a former State Department counterterrorism coordinator for the first Trump administration.
"The threat confirms the wisdom of reimposing economic sanctions and denying Tehran the resources it needs to fund terror plots worldwide," he added.
The Wall Street Journal first reported that Israel had shared intelligence detailing an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the president. CNN later reported that sources said there was less of a specific plot, but more talk in Tehran of wanting to kill Trump.
The network also reported that some U.S. officials had cautioned that the warnings could have been an attempt to create division between Washington and Tehran.
