Iranians begin forming human chains around power plants ahead of Trump’s deadline, social media videos show

Iranian citizens are forming human chains around critical power plants as a physical defense against potential cyber or kinetic attacks following inflammatory statements by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The action aims to shield infrastructure from retaliation amid geopolitical tensions, with potential for widespread blackouts or sabotage in Iran's energy sector. The move highlights vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure protection and escalates risks of hybrid warfare.

Tehran called for citizens to physically shield critical infrastructure after Trump said an “entire civilization will die.”
