Not just human chains, but the bodies of students! Alireza Rahimi, the deputy minister of youth affairs from Iran’s Ministry of Sport and Youth, called for his congregate to surrounded electrical stations in the event of near-imminent military strikes on those locations. Notably, this isn’t a coordinated military strategy from Iran, just a crazy request from an Iranian official, but it’s nuts. Their strategy isn’t to point out areas where civilians were inadvertently harmed, it’s to use civilians as human shields.

I don't think that the Trump regime cares about human shields. It might actually entice them more into bombing those targets. Like, don't threaten them with a good time, kind of thing.

exoriparian Apr 7, 2026 +4
It's civilians standing next to a civilian structure. It's just making more explicit the threat against civilians by Trump. Many, many more civilians than that would die because of a strike on a power plant, which is a war crime and a crime against humanity. It's not a "human shield" it's just humans.

Do you think the minister will be encouraging his own family to go then? I know Trump's a sack of shit. But so is the Iranian regime. You're talking about a regime who has gunned down civilians before for being too vocal against the government, a regime who kidnaps civilians and kills/sends them nobody really knows where. A regime which kills victims of r*** for the crime of being raped (children, we might add!). Maybe you're right- that's it's a powerful symbolic gestyre of a powerless victim doing all they can to stand against evil. ... But no.

literallymoist Apr 7, 2026 +4
Yeah when power goes out medical devices fail, food spoils and heat/cooling do not work. Targeting their power infrastructure would already cause mass casualties, the human shield just makes it more clear for people not bright enough to make that connection on their own.

if US starts targeting civilian infrastructure then civilians are getting harmed no matter what. You cant take out power plants and water desalination infra without killing civilians (and not just talking about civilians working there). Putting civilians directly in front of them just tells the pilots and everyone else to directly acknowledge the fact that they are killing civilians. Human shield argument applies if it is being used to protect military targets or military is hiding in civilian infra like firing rockets from hospitals.

Foreign_Cable_9530 Apr 7, 2026 +64
There’s a very significant difference between a missile strike or debris harming civilians during a military operation and an Iranian official requesting children to explode with an electrical station so that they can claim the USA is targeting adolescent civilians.
64
musci12234 Apr 7, 2026 -8
Bro in today's world if you are taking out the power supply then people are dying no matter what. You think hospitals, water supply and other critical stuff runs on dreams and farts? US is targetting civilians. Do you think civilian infrastructure is a valid military target? The cases in which it would be valid to criticise iran are: 1. They forced people to stand there 2. They used civilians as meat shield to protect their military infrastructure 3. They operated military operation from civilian infrastructure Iran is a fucked up country but thay doesn't make targetting civilian infra ok.

Designer_Professor_4 Apr 7, 2026 +10
Energy is provided in grids.  Many countries use regional grids to contain failures,  Iran uses a single decentralized grid.  Quite literally Iran's military and civilian share the exact same grid.   You can't disable one without disabling the other. 
10
Foreign_Cable_9530 Apr 7, 2026 +25
People dying is also significantly different than an Iranian official requesting children to die with the infrastructure so that Iran can claim the USA is targeting adolescent civilians. Yes I believe that targeting electrical stations can be valid military targets, as they’re considered lawful if those stations power military bases, weapons production, air defenses, command/control centers, etc

lorarc Apr 7, 2026 -1
Apart from factories all those places have their own power. Destroying a power plant will affect mostly civilians and for a very long time.

exoriparian Apr 7, 2026 +2
lol, you can believe that all you want, it's a f****** war crime. it is not a valid military target.

musci12234 Apr 7, 2026 -10
It is not very different. The entire difference is killing someone directly and killing someone indirectly. But I guess it is easier to tell yourself that you didn't kill civilians when it was actually lack of electricity. If you believe that it is ok to target stuff like power plants and water desalination plants then I hope you won't complain when Iran does it because if US targets civilian infra then Iran will respond in the same way and whole situation will get much much worse. Also how many country are there that have completely independent power infrastructure for military stuff? Is it ok to attack power infrastructure in all those countries that don't do 2 separate power infrastructure?
-10
Foreign_Cable_9530 Apr 7, 2026 +8
Killing someone directly with intent and killing someone indirectly are treated very differently in the United States and in the international community. Especially when one is due to a theocratic autocracy refusing to surrender after power loss and the other is due to that same authoritarian state intentionally sending their children to known military targets during an active conflict.
8
musci12234 Apr 7, 2026
Bro do you still believe that if power plants are bombed there would be no deaths of civilians due to loss of power? Yes or no. It is "I didn't kill you, the bullet did" kind of dumb logic. Iran's govt sucks but the solution isnt to bomb civilian infrastructure from the sky. Also does your country have a separate power grid for military stuff? Because if it doesn't it would make the power grid in your country a valid target too according to your logic.
0
Foreign_Cable_9530 Apr 7, 2026 +6
No I’m not claiming that. I’m claiming that intent is written into international law as an important distinction for whether or not a military operation that kills civilians is justified or not. It sounds like your idea of war is that if civilians could die then the operation is not allowed to happen. That’s a zero-risk tolerance that is not shared by the international community because writing that into law would allow an enemy state or it’s leaders to simply embed themselves among civilians to eliminate all of of your defenses. I understand that this is morally difficult, but this is the reality of war. And yes, if my country has military power grids then those are also justified targets, even if a civilian dies in the strike or secondary to debris. Even if me, my son, and Jesus Christ are all working in the power plant that provides power to a military base and two weapons development facilities, it is still a valid military target. If we compare to Iran but flip it around in a hypothetical, if it’s been announced that those areas are going to be targeted, so if my country decided to black out the internet like Iran and not tell me, or even worse, plan a bring-your-family-to-work-day on the day that military strikes were threatened, then the responsibility is on my country, not the one conducting the strikes. Iran is literally trying to throw civilians under the exploding bus because they know a repressive theocratic authoritarian state cannot survive without a nuclear deterrent.

You know what is a war crime? Threatening civilian infrastructure. Not defending Iran’s actions at all, but this is on the US. “Strongest” nation in the world actively threatening war crimes? F****** pathetic. Edit: To the morons who for some reason still think the US can kill and destroy in Gods name or whatever, [actual experts](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/watch-live-hegseth-and-caine-hold-pentagon-briefing-as-trump-threatens-irans-infrastructure) agree it’s a war crime to do what Trumps doing by threatening in this specific way.

These power plants are not “civilian infrastructure”, they’re dual purpose. You cant hide necessary military resources from attacks by attaching it to civilian purposes as well.

S1075 Apr 7, 2026 -31
Get the f*** out of here with that bullshit. Iran isn't hiding anything of consequence in powerplants. You can't put ballistic missiles inside a power plant building, and nothing else would be a threat to the US or the Gulf States if the US didn't start this. You cant justify systemically causing a humanitarian disaster because there are allegedly some "military equipment" in a powerplant. You don't get to commit a war crime just because you accuse the other guy first.

Hmm I wonder why putting civilians in front of valuable targets puts them in danger... I wonder if it has something to do with the bombs and drones that have been flying for the past month. Where else would you like the US and Israel to target? The middle of an empty field so no one gets hurt?

virtual_adam Apr 7, 2026 +10
Everything is dual use these days. That’s a problem on itself. Anything that even existed as military only was evacuated long ago because those are the easiest targets It’s not just Iran. The US has troops in the ME sleeping in civilian hotels. Israel has its center base in the middle of Tel Aviv. Literally everything is dual use If Iran would have military roads separated from civilian roads, military bridges separated, military power plants separated, well the war would have been over within a few hours Pretty easy to destroy 100% of their military and 0% of civilian infrastructure when you plan it like that

There’s so many f****** odors on Listnook rn. If a country could hide military targets by making them dual purpose or cloaking them with civilian use, and nobody could attack them bc it’d hurt civilians, then those countries would run the planet. They’re dual use power plants. I’m glad we have them warning to try and end it before it came to this but oh well, it didn’t work, time to take them out.

S1075 Apr 7, 2026 -2
Just because they are dual use doesn't make them a valid target. You could maybe make that claim with a nuclear plant, but not gas or coal fired.

Why not? The military uses the power from those plants just the same whether it’s nuclear, gas, or coal.

saranowitz Apr 7, 2026 +13
Under international law, Is a country allowed to bomb a school that is being used to house weapons? Pick one: Yes -> well, this is actually the answer under international law, so not a war crime. No -> well, i can understand your moral stance on this, but consider that you’re effectively *encouraging* regimes to hide their arms in hospitals / schools since they can’t be bombed.

turbodan1 Apr 7, 2026 +18
Attacking dual use infrastructure is not necessarily a war crime. Infrastructure that contributes meaningfully to the military's operation, but is also used for civilian purposes, is considered military infrastructure. The authors of the Geneva Convention impose responsibility for protecting civilians on all parties. When a host country refuses to abide by their responsibilities to their own citizens, the Geneva Convention offers fewer protections. If the framework allows for one party to simultaneously refuse to conform to the Geneva Convention but at the same time demands their opponent conform, no one would follow the framework.

They've looted, massacred, stolen, abandoned, and in every way possible betrayed the people of Iran. If you look into the actual origins of the regime heads, you'll see that a large number of them are Iraqi. This is not an Iranian government, it's an occupying regime.

NowGoodbyeForever Apr 7, 2026 -20
Even if a power plant is used by the military, attacking them is a war crime if it results in "excessive civilian harm." There are civilians in the proximity, and taking out power will naturally lead to many more dead in hospitals and due to exposure. You don't know what you're talking about.

1
spaceninjaking Apr 7, 2026 +4
Bridges and general infrastructure can absolutely be classified under valid military targets, but should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Housing and schools generally fall outside of legitimate targets. They could feasibly become a target should the civilian population be evacuated, but there is still a risk civilians remain.

Okay I've traced the claim back to an AP News Article, and correspondant Charles de Ledesma claims that Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian called for "human chains" to be formed around power plants and oil infrastructure, on Tuesday (today), on X. I scrolled through Pezeshkian's x profile and ran what he was tweeting through a translator app and found *no* mention of human chains anywhere on his profile. https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-israel-trump-lebanon-april-7-2026-421ee64fdc9a5c26460df8119c7d1b3f https://x.com/drpezeshkian

It’s evil…I doubt Iran “calls” for human chains…they will probably force people to form the human chains Pray for peace 🙏.

There is *nothing* good coming out of this conflict. Not a single thing. It's a net negative for the entire world.

How can anyone looking at this and think letting Iran accumulate missiles and build nukes would have been a good plan. The same people who stand where a bomb is scheduled to land or suicide bomb a market would just as easily ignore MAD and use a nuke.

Trump doesn’t care. Hegseth doesn’t care. What is this going to do except kill more kids?

Hegseth and Trump don't fly the planes except in AI videos.

What’s your point? Do you think I’m saying they are personally leading the attack? We already know that they are issuing illegal orders and the military is following illegal orders.

I'm sure the military has lawyers, but feel free to keep talking, it's a free country

How many fishing boats have been blown up and people murdered on Trumps illegal orders in the Caribbean? Illegal orders are being followed

You mean the same military lawyers that got sidelined by Trump's own cabinet when they were launching attacks at drug boats instead of capturing them.

And yet America is STILL the unprovoked aggressor committing and threatening more war crimes. This is what electing monstrous fascists who openly declare their intent to wage holy war and ignore international law gets you. There is no moral high ground to hold now. There is no amount of these articles that will make a difference in light of a maniac pedophile threatening nuclear war. Sorry, but this is the consequence of Trump. America is THE BAD GUY in the world right now. That’s just the reality in this moment.

No, this is what you get when you create a system where one guy has so much power. To stop things like this from happening in future you need real democracy and not the parody that americans have.

When he mentioned four hours, he was saying that once the deadline passed it would only take four hours to destroy all the power plants.

I don’t think I’d make that bet. They already bombed children.
