Melania Trump did not attend the funeral of Lindsey Graham in Washington DC despite President Donald Trump making a speech at the ceremony. Melania was notably absent as her husband sat alongside Vice President JD Vance, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Eric Trump, and Lara Trump.

The First Lady appears to have taken a step back from the public eye this year amid reports that she has become the target of an assassination threat by Iran. The Tasnim News Agency, which has links to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, released an AI-generated video identifying the places she shops and how potential assassins could target her.

In the footage, a narrator speaking Farsi discusses "plots" while images show Mr and Mrs Trump on a map, detailing their code names and the precautions the Secret Service takes to secure the streets along their motorcades.

The narrator claims that "the documents used in this video are the result of extracting information from several anonymous security networks and satellite images".

They also propose a potential poisoning plot that could be executed by "freedom fighters" with access to locations the First Lady frequently attends.

The footage implies that Mrs Trump's "love of fashion" reflects her vulnerability, even suggesting potential bribery schemes tied to her shopping patterns.

Billboards have also appeared on bridges and structures throughout Tehran, Iran, calling for the deaths of Mr Trump and his family members. One featured images of his children, Ivanka and Barron, alongside his wife.

All three were shown with their eyes closed, with the word "KILLED" in red across the top. It added: "Hey, Terrorist! Get ready to die."

Another billboard from this week displayed a red MAGA hat alongside what appears to be an illustration of Mr Trump with blood pouring from his head.

A third features AI-generated imagery of the US President, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio submerged in a pool of blood.
