Regime’s Barbarism on Full Display: Iranians Swarm Key Infrastructure with CIVILIANS as Human Shields in Desperate Bid to Shield Mullahs’ Regime from US Attacks

Iran’s bloodthirsty mullahs are now openly turning their own citizens, including children and young people, into human shields around the regime’s critical power plants and key infrastructure sites.

As The Gateway Pundit reported just hours ago, Iran’s Deputy Minister for Youth Affairs and Secretary of the Supreme Youth Council, Alireza Rahimi, has brazenly called on “young people, athletes, artists, students and professors” to gather around the nation’s power plants at 2 p.m. local time today.

They’re dubbing it the “Iran’s Youth Human Chain for a Bright Future.”

Reports flooding in confirm Iranians are already gathering en masse around key sites. Videos on social media show crowds forming human chains at power plants nationwide, with state media blasting the call as a “show of solidarity.”

Plenty of tear gas, wait about half an hour, bomb the targets.

Great. Now we are free to bomb the schools, daycare, hospitals, and universities since they are all surrounding power plants, bridges, and Mullah Mansions.

“I honestly fear that we might unleash hundreds of nuclear bombs and turn the entire country into atomic dust.”

Nah, Trump would never do that - that would just give the mullahs enough radioactive dust to build a thousand dirty bombs.

I thought we set their nuclear program back years with the big bombers a few months ago. Now you’re saying three weeks

I think the word “obliterated “ was used.

It has been estimated that during the course of the war, 800,000 Germans were arrested by the Gestapo for resistance activities. It has also been estimated that between 15,000 and 77,000 Germans were executed. Resistance members were usually tried, mostly in show trials, by Sondergerichte (Special Courts), courts-martial, People’s Courts, and the civil justice system. Many of the Germans had served in government, the military, or in civil positions, which enabled them to engage in subversion and conspiracy.

Otto and Elise Hampel protested against the regime by leaving postcards urging resistance (passive and forceful) against the regime around Berlin. It took two years before they were caught, convicted and then put to death.

In November 1939, Georg Elser, a carpenter from Württemberg, developed a plan to assassinate Hitler completely on his own. Elser had been peripherally involved with the KPD before 1933, but his exact motives for acting as he did remain a mystery. He read in the newspapers that Hitler would be addressing a Nazi Party meeting on 8 November, in the Bürgerbräukeller, a beer hall in Munich where Hitler had launched the Beer Hall Putsch on the same date in 1923. Stealing explosives from his workplace, he built a powerful time bomb, and for over a month managed to stay inside the Bürgerbräukeller after hours each night, during which time he hollowed out the pillar behind the speaker’s rostrum to place the bomb inside.

On the night of 7 November 1939, Elser set the timer and left for the Swiss border. Unexpectedly, because of the pressure of wartime business, Hitler made a much shorter speech than usual and left the hall 13 minutes before the bomb went off, killing seven people. Sixty-three people were injured, sixteen more were seriously injured with one dying later. Had Hitler still been speaking, the bomb almost certainly would have killed him.

****

Von Tresckow asked Lieutenant Colonel Heinz Brandt, on Hitler’s staff and usually on the same plane that carried Hitler, to take a parcel with him, supposedly the prize of a bet won by Tresckow’s friend General Stieff. It concealed a bomb, disguised in a box for two bottles of Cointreau. Von Tresckow’s aide, Lieutenant Fabian von Schlabrendorff, set the fuse and handed over the parcel to Brandt who boarded the same plane as Hitler.

Hitler’s Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was expected to explode about 30 minutes later near Minsk, close enough to the front to be attributed to Soviet fighters. Olbricht was to use the resulting crisis to mobilise his Reserve Army network to seize power in Berlin, Vienna, Munich and in the German Wehrkreis centres. It was an ambitious but credible plan, and might have worked if Hitler had indeed been killed, although persuading Army units to fight and overcome what could certainly have been fierce resistance from the SS could have been a major obstacle.

However, as with Elser’s bomb in 1939 and all other attempts, luck favoured Hitler again, which was attributed to “Vorsehung” (providence). The British-made chemical pencil detonator on the bomb had been tested many times and was considered reliable. It went off, but the bomb did not. The percussion cap apparently became too cold as the parcel was carried in the unheated cargo hold.

Displaying great sangfroid, Schlabrendorff took the next plane to retrieve the package from Colonel Brandt before the content was discovered.

****

A second attempt was made a few days later on 21 March 1943, when Hitler visited an exhibition of captured Soviet weaponry in Berlin’s Zeughaus. One of Tresckow’s friends, Colonel Rudolf Christoph Freiherr von Gersdorff, was scheduled to explain some exhibits, and volunteered to carry out a suicide bombing using the same bomb that had failed to go off on the plane, concealed on his person. However, the only new chemical fuse he could obtain was a ten-minute one. Hitler again left prematurely after hurrying through the exhibition much quicker than the scheduled 30 minutes. Gersdorff had to dash to a bathroom to defuse the bomb to save his life, and more importantly, prevent any suspicion.

****

Axel von dem Bussche, member of the elite Infantry Regiment 9, volunteered to kill Hitler with hand grenades in November 1943 during a presentation of new winter uniforms, but the train containing them was destroyed by Allied bombs in Berlin, and the event had to be postponed. A second presentation scheduled for December at the Wolfsschanze was canceled on short notice as Hitler decided to travel to Berchtesgaden.

****

The next occasion was a weapons exhibition on July 7 at Schloss Klessheim near Salzburg, but Helmuth Stieff did not trigger the bomb.

Agreed. They should be unable to mount any sort of counterattack. They will be easy pickings for the seriously aggrieved Persians and Kurds.

Did not think of destroying their banking system ems. I have read before that it a bank cannot manage its millions of daily transactions the bank can go bellyup.
With no oil as collateral the regime aka “civilization” will be finished.

That is what I think. It is called a “feint.” The whole “we will destroy a civilization” comment was a distraction. I cannot wait to see the results.

Next up for the big kill should be Alreza Rahimi! What an inhuman monster to place children and citizens in the line of fire!

'...as the president and his men are so fond of threatening'

You talk to primitive, uncouth barbarians in the language they understand. I can't believe so few here grasp that.

Confusing...are these not the Iranians we were told about... who were supposed to be rising up “against” the regime?

The first 30,000 or so of the most gung-ho anti-theocracy crowd got murdered.
They were waiting for help being on the way.

This script of human shields did not work in Gaza. The Israelis knew women breed terrorists and kids become terrorists if not already terrorists. I saw the pictures, kids, women and men stacked like cord wood. N Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

What if they’re not doing it of their own free will. What if IRGC says to parents, “If you don’t serve as a human shield, we’ll kill your children.
