Some Iranians have formed human chains on bridges and outside power plants after authorities urged people to gather at potential US and Israeli targets.

It comes after Donald Trump threatened to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure.

At that page, video from the White Bridge in Ahvaz (with a few hundred people, and a massive continuous Iranian flag, which must have been made some time earlier, and a power plant at Kazerun (also hundreds).

"Willingly"? Well, they don't look coerced, and there are bound to be some supporters of the regime.

All it took to re-find this (I noticed it on the BBC website yesterday) was a Google search for 'bridges iran crowds'.
