As tensions escalate ahead of the Strait of Hormuz deadline, Iran has urged citizens to form symbolic “human chains” around key power plants to signal protection of national infrastructure. Youth groups, artists, and students are expected to participate in the coordinated action. The move comes amid heightened rhetoric from Donald Trump, who expanded threats to target Iran’s bridges and power facilities if demands are unmet. Tehran has rejected a temporary ceasefire, pushing instead for a permanent end to the conflict. Diplomatic efforts continue through intermediaries, but tensions remain high, raising concerns over potential escalation and risks to regional stability and global energy security.
