Iran’s regime is now openly encouraging civilians, including children and young people, to serve as human shields around the nation’s power plants.
The sick initiative comes as the Islamic Republic braces for a devastating military strike promised by President Donald Trump if Tehran fails to meet his Tuesday 8:00 PM deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Now, facing “Stone Age” consequences promised by the American Commander-in-Chief, the regime is doubling down on its favorite tactic: Targeting the innocent to save their own hides.
The initiative, spearheaded by Alireza Rahimi, Iran’s Deputy Minister for Youth Affairs and Secretary of the Supreme Youth Council, has been branded “Iran’s Youth Human Chain for a Bright Future,” and is being promoted nationwide as a show of solidarity with the regime, according to Iran International.
Rahimi called on “young people, athletes, artists, students and professors” to gather around power plants at a designated time, reportedly Tuesday at 2 p.m. local time, forming protective human barriers around key infrastructure.
State-linked messaging has amplified the call, with broadcasts urging widespread participation.
