Iran releases video calling for attacks on Melania Trump

Iranian state media has released a video encouraging attacks on Melania Trump, the wife of former US president Donald Trump. The video, posted by an agency aligned with the Iranian regime, calls on ‘freedom fighters’ to target the former first lady, referring to her by a derogatory nickname allegedly used by the US Secret Service.

The inflammatory content claims that Trump’s well-documented interest in fashion represents a vulnerability that could be exploited. The video goes on to detail specific shopping locations in New York where she is known to shop, and makes explicit references to poisoning her clothing with nerve agents.

The release represents a significant escalation in rhetoric from Iranian state entities and comes amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington. Such videos are typically disseminated through channels controlled or aligned with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The video also includes mocking content directed at the US military, including footage that appears to use Lego figures. Iranian state media has increasingly used inflammatory rhetoric and violent imagery in recent years, particularly targeting American political figures and allies.
