Trump said the "human shields" set up by Iranian civilians around power stations are "completely illegal."
Iran has no right to establish "human shields" around facilities such as power stations in response to U.S. threats. President Donald Trump made this statement during an interview with journalists.
During an interview with NBC News, the U.S. President strongly criticized the Iranian government's call for citizens to build human barriers around power stations. Trump labeled the move "illegal," emphasizing that Iran has never received any authorization for such actions. The U.S. President even claimed that Iranian citizens should have consulted the American side beforehand!
After President Trump announced plans to strike Iran's energy facilities, Ali Reza Rahimi, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports of Iran, immediately called on the public to gather at power stations and form "human shields." A large number of Iranian citizens responded to the call, vowing, "Trump and the White House will surely pay the price with the blood of Iranian civilians."
