Trump raps Iran's 'illegal' call for human shields around power plants - NBC

Apr 7, 2026, 21:31 GMT+1

US President Donald Trump sharply criticized Tehran’s reported call for civilians to act as human shields around power plants amid his threat to bomb the facilities, NBC News reported, citing a brief phone call with him.

“Totally illegal,” he said. “They’re not allowed to do that.”

Asked about his Truth Social comment that “a whole civilization will die tonight,” Trump said, “You’ll have to figure that out.”
