Human chains gather at Iranian bridges and power plants after Trump warnings

Iranians formed human chains around bridges, power plants and other key infrastructure on Tuesday in a symbolic display of unity after U.S. threats to strike critical civilian sites.

International media reported that the gatherings took place as tensions with Washington sharply escalated, with participants assembling in several cities after official calls to protect vital national assets.

Reports and verified videos showed people joining hands and waving Iranian flags in cities including Kermanshah, Tabriz, Ahvaz and Ilam, where the demonstrations were framed as acts of solidarity and defiance.

Iranian officials described the action as a sign of national unity and public support in the face of foreign threats, while urging young people and public figures to take part.

The gatherings reportedly included students, athletes, artists and youth groups, with organizers saying the aim was to send a message against any possible attack on civilian infrastructure.

The demonstrations followed warnings by U.S. President Donald Trump that Iran’s bridges and power plants could be targeted if Tehran failed to meet Washington’s demands over the Strait of Hormuz.

The move has also drawn criticism from some observers, who warned that encouraging civilians to gather near potential military targets could raise serious humanitarian and legal concerns.

The human chains underscored how quickly the crisis has spilled beyond military calculations, turning public space and civilian infrastructure into visible symbols of resistance and vulnerability.
