Following US President Donald Trump's threat, Iran has appealed to youth across the country to unite and show their support. According to a report by international media outlet Al Jazeera, the Iranian government has appealed to students, artists, athletes and youth organizations from several universities to form a human chain around the power plant on Tuesday. The aim is to protest the US attack on public structures. Earlier, Trump had given Iran a 48-hour deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz and to cease hostilities. The deadline expires at 8 pm on Tuesday (Eastern Time). It will end at 5:45 am on Wednesday according to Nepali time. Trump had warned that he could destroy Iran overnight on Monday and that it could happen on Tuesday. Speaking to the media, he said, "We have a plan. Every bridge in Iran will be destroyed on Tuesday night. Every power plant will be out of business." They will never be able to use it and it will all happen in just 4 hours.’

It is said that in addition to the naval base, there is an air force base, air defense systems, missiles and underground stores of drones. On Monday, Iran also launched a missile attack on the Israeli city of Petah Tikva. A woman was seriously injured in the attack, Israeli media reported. Appeal to form human chains in power plant areas The Iranian government has appealed to its citizens to form human chains in those areas to protect power plants and large structures from US attacks. Iran's Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Affairs Alireza Rahimi wrote on social media, "We will all join hands and say that attacking public structures is a war crime."

The US military has said that more than 13,000 areas have been targeted in the ongoing war against Iran so far. The US Central Command gave this information on social media. According to him, more than 155 Iranian ships have been damaged in these attacks.
