Fears of a wider global conflict intensified after Donald Trump issued a stark warning involving Iran, before a temporary ceasefire was announced. Should a nuclear attack ever occur, however, it could have devastating consequences far beyond a single country.
When a nuclear weapon detonates, everything changes in an instant. For many, there is simply no time to react, and the level of destruction is difficult to comprehend.
Within hundreds of feet, everything is vaporized. Miles beyond that, buildings collapse under extreme force. But even for those who survive the initial blast, the danger is far from over. Lethal radiation exposure follows, leading to catastrophic physical damage and death.
Donald Trump’s comments about Iran
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced early Wednesday that the U.S. and Iran had agreed to a temporary ceasefire lasting two weeks, according to the BBC.
This came shortly after Donald Trump made a series of striking comments about Iran, writing on social media: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change… maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?”
