Iran has called on citizens to form “human chains” around key power plants as President Donald Trump’s deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches, reported by multiple outlets. Tehran’s move signals defiance amid escalating threats of U.S. strikes on critical infrastructure.
According to the report, Trump warned that Iran could face widespread destruction if it fails to restore shipping access through the strait. Meanwhile, fresh U.S. and Israeli airstrikes have hit multiple targets across Iran, with state media reporting dozens of casualties.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said over 14 million citizens have volunteered to defend the country, reflecting heightened mobilization. The report said Iran has also launched missile attacks targeting regional rivals, further intensifying the conflict.
Global concerns are mounting, with France and the United Nations warning that strikes on civilian infrastructure could violate international law. Despite rising tensions, diplomatic efforts remain ongoing, though Iran has rejected a temporary ceasefire proposal.
