In a demonstration of its disregard for the lives of its citizens, Iran has urged the country’s youth to form human chains around its power generation facilities, which President Trump has threatened to strike once the ultimatum to Tehran expires (at 03:00 on Holy Wednesday, Greece time) to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Yesterday, the U.S. president stated in a press conference that within four hours of the ultimatum expiring, “all bridges and power stations will be destroyed.”

Government officials have called on students, artists, and athletes to begin forming human shields starting at 14:00 local time (13:30 in Greece).
