Amid escalating tensions, people in several parts of Iran have begun forming human chains around critical infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, in a symbolic effort to protect them.
The move follows warnings by former US President Donald Trump, who reportedly threatened to target Iran’s vital infrastructure—such as bridges and electricity facilities—if certain conditions were not met by a Tuesday deadline.
Iranian authorities have called on citizens, particularly youth, students, and volunteers, to gather around such sites and create “human chains” as a show of solidarity and deterrence.
Officials described the initiative as an attempt to safeguard national assets and demonstrate public resistance amid fears of potential strikes.
The development comes as tensions between the US and Iran continue to rise, with global concerns mounting over the possibility of further escalation.
