Iran Suggests Human "Shields" to Protect Nuclear Plants from US Threat

Iran has suggested its own citizens could act as human "shields" to protect the country's nuclear facilities. This unusual proposal is a direct response to a threat from former US President Donald Trump. Trump recently warned that any attack by Iran, especially on Israel, could result in the "complete demolition" of Iran's power plants. He did not specify if this meant nuclear or other energy sites. In reaction, an advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiating team posted on social media. He proposed that people could gather at important nuclear sites as a form of protection. The idea is that a threat of mass civilian casualties would deter any military strike. The exchange highlights the dangerously high tensions between the two nations. It also raises serious concerns about the safety of civilians near potential military targets.
