Iranian musician plays tar outside power plant amid Trump's threat

Amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran, Iranian musician Ali Ghamsari has been seen performing near a power facility as a form of protest against potential strikes on civilian infrastructure.

The performance comes after US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum warning of large-scale strikes on Iran's civilian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by Tuesday night (US time).

'I hope sound of my tar can help...'

In a video shared online, Ghamsari is seen seated on a traditional mat, playing the tar, a long-necked, waisted instrument central to Persian classical music.

He spoke about his location in the video and said, "I hope the sound of my tar can have an impact on peace, help keep the lights in the homes from going out."

The Iranian Embassy in the Netherlands also shared this video.

He wrote, "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."

In another post, he wrote, "Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!"
