This is getting ugly.
And quick!
Videos on X show hundreds of Iranians who are reportedly being sent by the Iranian regime to protest on critical bridges and at power plants as President Trump has threatened strikes on the infrastructure.
Here’s the current scene:

The Hill reported more on the human chains forming in Iran:
Iranian officials on Tuesday urged their people to form human chains around power plants as the country faces a deadline set by President Trump to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or risk major strikes on civilian and energy infrastructure.
The regime called on “all young people, athletes, artists, students and university students and their professors” to protect power plants threatened by Trump, according to The Associated Press.
“Power plants that are our national assets and capital,” Alireza Rahimi, identified by Iranian state television as the secretary of the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescents, reportedly said in a video statement.
Trump has set the deadline at 8 p.m. EDT for Tehran to lift its blockade on shipping traffic through the vital strait, which carries about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply, or “all Hell” will be unleashed on the country.
“We’re giving them until tomorrow at 8 o’clock. And after that, they’re going to have no bridges, no power plants,” the president told reporters at a White House news conference Monday, doubling down on earlier threats.
ADVERTISEMENTIran “could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,” he warned.

Read Trump’s latest threat to Iran, which he wrote on Truth Social:
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?
We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
