Iran's volunteer Islamic militiamen are vowing to form a human chain along the length of the country's borders as a show of force against international pressure on Tehran's atomic program.
Iran faces referral to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions after failing to convince the world its nuclear fuel program is intended for power stations rather than warheads.
Mohammad Hejazi, head of the volunteer basij militia, swore he had enough people to girdle the country.
"Nine million basij will form a human chain around Iran on November 26 in support of the country's right to peaceful nuclear energy," he told state television.
He said the chain would run to about 8,700km and added President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would attend the ceremony.
Hejazi gave no account of how Iran's rickety transport networks would move nine million people to Iran's often highly inaccessible borders.
Iran's conservative leadership says as many as 11 million of its 68 million people are loyal basij militia members, but the numbers are impossible to verify.

Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me

You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Every chain has got a weak link
I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength
You told me to leave you alone
My father said come on home
My doctor said take it easy
Whole bunch of lovin is much too strong
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain of fools
One of these mornings the chain is gonna break
But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Which one will be "The Weakest Link?"
