Foreign Policy Journal
The United States Secret Service is investigating an Iran-linked video that reportedly identified Melania Trump as a target for assassination, according to the Baltimore Sun.
The threat comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with U.S. officials growing increasingly concerned about Iranian plots targeting American political figures.
The Secret Service routinely investigates all threats against current and former first families, and protocols for protecting Melania Trump would be reviewed in light of the reported video.
The reported threat against Melania Trump marks a significant escalation in the pattern of alleged Iranian targeting of individuals connected to the Trump administration.
Federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, are expected to coordinate with the Secret Service as the investigation into the reported video continues.
