Iran has reportedly urged youth to form a “human chain” around power plants, calling it a symbolic act to protect national infrastructure.
This comes as Trump threatens to destroy Iran’s bridges and power plants if a Tuesday deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not met.
FollowAhead of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday deadline for Iran to end its blockade of Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Ministry of Sports and Youth has reportedly called on
[b] “Iranian youth,” including “athletes, artists, [and] students, to gather at 2 PM tomorrow around power plants across the country, urging them to form what officials describe as a symbolic “human chain.”[/b]
Alireza Rahimi, Deputy of Youth Affairs, said the initiative originated from young people themselves. “This action [the human chain] has been formed at the suggestion of the youth themselves.A
A number of university youth, young artists, and youth organizations proposed that we form a human ring or human chain around the country’s power plants,” he said.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has changed permanently, planning a ‘new Persian Gulf order.’ They are preparing operational measures that include imposing transit fees on ships and banning vessels from the US and Israel. This move indicates a strategic shift in Iran’s control over this critical waterway, which is vital for global energy trade.
He added, “This symbolic action is called the ‘Human Chain of Iran’s Youth for a Bright Future.’ We hope that with the participation of young people across the country, this human chain will be formed around the power plants, and it will be a sign of the youth’s commitment to protecting the country’s infrastructure and building a bright future.”
