Iranian media outlets have broadcast threats targeting President Trump and First Lady Melania since the former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in U.S. and Israel bombings on February 28. However, this is the first time Barron has been publicly targeted.

CNN reported that "the U.S. Secret Service is aware of the video and stated it is investigating all matters."

Meanwhile, Axios reported that U.S. Secretary of State Rubio explained to foreign ministers of allied countries that "there are no plans to launch new military attacks against Iran for the time being, and focus will be placed on other pressures, including economic sanctions."

He also announced a plan to transport as much crude oil as possible through the Strait of Hormuz.

Regarding this, Trump stated, "I have received a report from the U.S. Navy that all mines within the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz have been removed and detonated."

However, Iran dismissed Trump's claim of mine clearance as propaganda and lies, cutting off by stating that there will be no reopening of the strait unless the U.S. first restores the terminated ceasefire memorandum of understanding.

The New York Times reported that U.S. diplomats in the Middle East who had been evacuated due to the outbreak of war are scheduled to return as early as this week, and analysts suggest that the redeployment of U.S. diplomatic personnel is also a sign of easing tensions.

The trend of easing tensions is expected to be maintained until the midterm elections in November, leading to observations that the United States has now abandoned a full-scale military attack against Iran.
