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.”

S0me of the children will die, but that’s a sacrifice the Mullahs are willing to make.

“I thought we set their nuclear program back years with the big bombers a few months ago.”

True, eliminated the ability to build 12 additional bombs each year.

However, I stated at the time, repeatedly, that Iran retained the ability to build a small number of bombs.

The first in about three weeks.

“Now you’re saying three weeks?!”

Yes, repeatedly, consistently.

“Who’s telling the truth here?!”

I’m stating my best estimates. They can build bombs faster, but fewer would result in the near term.

Many factors would be involved. They might try to increase the number of bombs they can build by testing carefully, which would delay things.

No, they aren’t. These are Basij, morals police, and religious idiots and anyone who wants a free sandwich and a dollar

Drop M&M bombs all around the bridge then the kids will run off of it. No red M&Ms of course.

Exactly. This was not meant for us. Michael Knowles had it exactly correct.

I think the bridge and power plants are a diversion.

Trump wants to gain control of oil flow choke points. If you control the oil, you control the money. If you control the money, you control the IRGC and the Basij.

“I think the word “obliterated “ was used.”

Some centrifuges probably remain, such as at the centrifuge factory, in transit to the enrichment facility, broken units sent for repair, noisy units deemed unsafe for large scale enrichment sent back for repair, units at universities for educational purposes, etc.

The 60% to bomb grade enrichment requires only a fraction of the cycles for a fraction of the total uranium raw material.

THIS is the REAL Handmaids Tale………I hope liberal American women, who march in their cute little red dresses and bonnets, pretending to be subjected to patriarchal and totalitarian society in America, are closely watching.

I’m pretty certain we could shut the power off at-will in whole regions without using traditional bombs.

If I was about to have the USMC take Kharg Island, what’s happening now could be a great diversion.

Looks like they dont need to waste money on useless Chinese air defense systems.

Just put kindergardens on all their strategic targets.

I wonder how much the concern-troll seminar posters here are earning for their concerted propaganda efforts? What’s everyone’s guess? 1200-2000 a week? Maybe far less if they aren’t actually in this country...or hell...could even free if they are just AI chatbots...hm.

The local fireworks shows usually have those concussion explosives mixed in. They go up and do nothing but bring a mighty flash and BOOM. Couple of those will get some minds right and panties soiled.

“There is no internet or media “

Correct about the internet but Iran still has their state TV channels and they are posting their propaganda. Pretty good chance it’s not the people who were protesting the regime who are lined up on the bridges. Fine. Just that many fewer true believers to deal with tomorrow.

I’m guessing they’ll use graphite bombs.

Radar confusing chaff from aircraft might do the job shorting out the power infrastructure. I'm wondering if IRGC military installation backup generators can then be located from their electromagnetic signatures during blackouts.

They’re showing the world... how really necessary it is for them to be eliminated as a threat to humans on planet earth. They are demon-driven. About fricking time, I’d say. Go Trump.

At this point there’s such a frenzy, on both sides, that I honestly fear that we might unleash hundreds of nuclear bombs and turn the entire country into atomic dust. Seriously. I wonder now if our leaders are going mad. I don’t think it’s just negotiating rhetoric any more. We’re going to go full on medieval on Iran, and many people here will be rejoicing at the wholesale vengeance.

Opening the diabolical nuclear box will have terrible consequences for our nation. Let’s step back a bit from the brink before we do something entirely stupid.


I see the Bluesky retards have infected this site. Take your retarded marxist-islamist agitprop back to X or Bluesky. Also, your grammar is atrocious so I'm assuming you're a foreign bot.
