Worthless waste of human life. All in the service of a few select lunatics from the upper echelons of this weird society.

There will be a ceasefire at any moment. Trump is making TACO again.

The US isn’t going to destroy the power plants, they’ll drop the graphite bombs over them that cause major electrical shortages and put it out of service, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite_bomb
They did this before Iraq invasion, did this in Serbia, and presumably in Venezuela

Context:
Iran’s state-run news agency (IRNA) displayed footage of Iranians forming human chains around the country’s only operational nuclear power plant located in Bushehr.
Reportedly, there has been a big social media campaign (most likely initiated by the Iranian government) to have civilians form human chains around critical energy infrastructure around the country, likely in an effort to deter U.S. and Israeli strikes.
OmmmShantiOm on
They say 14 millions people joined the effort in one sentence. The next sentence they say pictures of dozens of people at various power plants….. Not sure if Iranian news agencies can be trusted tbh.

“They’ve got the plant but we’ve got the power”

14 million people? So like 1 in 6 people is volunteering for human shield duty? Yeah right.
Also, they wrote all that but didn’t show pics?

That’s one hell of a bluff call…

You can’t trust anything that comes from this regime… that goes for Iran too.

The fact that the Iranian government is telling its youth to make a human shield is insane. They literally don’t care for their people at all!
FrozenHatsets on
So… Am I supposed to be for or against a government asking civilians to stand next to infrastructure that they strongly believe to be the target of military ordinance? If this is an organic movement of civilians, they should have the right to put their lives on the line for their beliefs, but a government telling civilians to actively stand in harms way is a bit…

The alternative title is Iran commits war crimes using civilians as human shields.

Weird description of the Islamic Republic using human sheilds. Their proxies do it, especially Hamas, and they have used children for landmine clearing before (no, seriously, look it up), so it isnt surprising.
Look at the difference in tone of reporting, though. Ordering children to go to sites likely to be bombed is pretty terrible…where is the international media condemnation?
Ok-Commercial-6865 on
No pictures backing up the story?

What a crazy title. As if Iranians form these human chains voluntary on their free will, and not being sent there by IRGC.
mehVmeh on
14 million people is absolute BS. Human shields are a disgusting “tactic”. Fuck the regime.
Old_Idea4566 on
Anyone showing up at these powerplants should not forget that two months ago the same government asking them to come join a human shield killed about 60k of them just because they said “Boooo, government, booo!”
It must suck so bad to be Iranian right now. Could be worse though, you could be an American who voted for Trump.

How does UN 1949 law on war treat civilians when they decide to protect a legitimate target with their body?
faolages on
If their options are to die because they can’t get water and power or die from being bombed it’s not like it’s a good choice. Even if they don’t support the regime this is signing a death warrant to 93 million people. There is not enough water in the Middle East without desalination plants for a modern pop to survive.

Guaranteed it’s not the anti-regimers that are dreaming of martyrdom.
Molniato on
Didn’t you people years ago cheers for the ukrainian civilians who were making molotovs and taunting russian soldiers and tanks, even at risk of their lives? Even at risk of being considered enemy combatants by the russians and being shot at? And now you feel unbelievable that iranian civilians want to protect their infrastructures even if it cost their lives? Seriously, you guys are being very stupid and closeminded
hellomumbo369 on
Lol that chain wouldn’t stop a strike regardless. People forget how accurate the American strikes are that the chain would probably at worse suffer severe hearing loss

If they think this administration values human life they are gravely mistaken. Trump chickened out again anyway.

More likely Iran forms chains of humans at power plants. Not that I endorse an illegal war or any tyrant actions…
