Israel's recent airstrike targeting Iran's nuclear facilities has escalated tensions significantly, raising fears of imminent global conflict. President Trump stated that Iran's resistance to a nuclear ultimatum prompted the attack. Although Iran lacks nuclear weapons, its allies, Russia and China, hold a significant nuclear arsenal. A resurfaced map warns of catastrophic consequences of a nuclear assault on the U.S., potentially killing 250 million people. The map, developed by FEMA, illustrates not only immediate fatalities but also extensive radioactive fallout affecting vast areas and populations, prompting concerns that no place is genuinely safe from nuclear repercussions.
"While those who live near military facilities, ICBM silos in the Midwest or submarine bases along the coasts might bear the most immediate and severe consequences of a nuclear attack, there's no question: Any nuclear war or weapons detonation would be bad for everyone."
"The map was created using data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which models blast radius, fallout patterns, and radiation exposure based on detonation location and population density."
