Iranians form human shields at power plants as Trump threatens possible war crimes
Just hours before President Donald Trump's deadline for ending the civilization in Iran, the country was organizing human shields at power plants on the U.S. targeting list.
This week, Iran's Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Alireza Rahimi, called on Iranians to form human chains at power plants at 2:30 p.m. local time.
Trump has extended his initial deadlines on targeting Iran's civilian infrastructure multiple times. His latest deadline was set for 8 p.m. ET.
"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," Trump warned on Tuesday in a Truth Social post. Critics have accused the U.S. president of threatening war crimes.
By Tuesday afternoon, groups of Iranians were seen in a video surrounding the Kazeroun power plant.
