The fear of nuclear war has increased after the US and Israel attacked Iran. Many countries around the world have nuclear weapons, and while a nuclear blast would kill many, Earth’s environmental change would be devastating too. One expert now claims there are only two countries where you’d be safe.
The US and Israel conducted an attack on Iran on Friday, February 28. It killed the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Iran launched strikes on US military facilities to retaliate.
Six US service members have been confirmed dead in the attacks, and as of Tuesday, no confirmed number of casualties on the Iranian side has been released.
Several countries in the Middle East, including Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar, have reported missile or drone strikes. Also, Israel has continued firing missiles at Lebanon.
An escalation in the region has many worried. As the US got involved, countries such as Russia, China, and North Korea all condemned the attack. China and Russia have interests in the region, and sadly, many more people might die in the days that come.
At the same time, fears of a nuclear war are increasing. Several countries are in possession of nuclear weapons, and if used, they could wipe out not only a few countries but also billions of lives worldwide.
