Strait of Hormuz: With US President Donald Trump’s deadline for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz approaching fast, Tehran has reportedly called on young Iranians to form symbolic “human chains” around Iran’s key power plants. Iran’s Ministry of Sports and Youth has called on the country’s youth,( Strait of Hormuz) including athletes, artists and students, to gather around the sites from 2:00 pm (local) on Tuesday.
That is around 13 hours before Trump’s deadline for the Strait of Hormuz to reopen, which ends at 3:30 am (local time) on Wednesday.
“This action (the human chain) has been formed at the suggestion of the youth themselves,” Iran’s Deputy of Youth Affairs, Alireza Rahimi, said in a video message.
“A number of university youth, young artists, and youth organisations proposed that we form a human ring or human chain around the country’s power plants,” he added.
According to the Iranian minister, the “symbolic action is called the ‘Human Chain of Iran’s Youth for a Bright Future.”
“We hope that with the participation of young people across the country, this human chain will be formed around the power plants, and it will be a sign of the youth’s commitment to protecting the country’s infrastructure and building a bright future,” he added.
