An Iranian media account affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps published a video showing alleged details of U.S. First Lady Melania Trump's daily movements and stores she is said to visit. The footage also targeted her son Barron, ending with the message, "He should wait for us." Israeli and Turkish reports described the post as an explicit threat or call for assassination against both family members. All three sources traced the footage to Tasnim's Telegram account and described the outlet as close to the IRGC.
