Iranian state-linked media recently aired a video featuring images of the 20-year-old, along with language that appeared to threaten his life, according to CNN.
"The US Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees," Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring told PEOPLE. He added that the agency does not discuss protective intelligence matters for operational security reasons.
The video reportedly focused on Barron's movements and surroundings, prompting concerns about whether the threats could pose a potential security risk.
The reported threats come after Barron and his mother, first lady Melania Trump, were targeted in a similar video last month. The earlier video, titled Where to Kill Melania, was reportedly published by Tasnim News Agency, an Iranian outlet that has been identified by the U.S. government and other international organizations as being operated by the Iranian government.
The animated video reportedly highlighted luxury department stores in Manhattan that Melania was said to visit and suggested ways those locations could potentially be used in an attack against her. It also included threats against Barron.
The Secret Service previously confirmed that it was aware of the video and was investigating it as a potential threat.
The latest concerns come amid a long history of tensions between Iran and President Trump. The president has faced threats from Iran for years, dating back to his first term and his decision to authorize the 2020 drone strike that killed Gen. Qasem Soleimani, one of Iran's most powerful military commanders.
Following Soleimani's death, Iran's then-supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed that those responsible would face what he described as "severe revenge." Iranian officials and state-linked outlets have continued to issue threats against Trump and other senior U.S. officials.
Khamenei was later killed alongside several members of his family during joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28.
Despite the change in Iran's leadership, reports indicate that threats against Trump have continued. In July, The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel had uncovered an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the president and had shared the intelligence with U.S. officials.
Trump later dismissed the report, telling the New York Post that Israel had not uncovered anything new.
The Secret Service continues to monitor potential threats against members of the Trump family as tensions between the United States and Iran remain high.
