The joint attack by the United States and Israel against Iran has plunged the Middle East into a situation of constant uncertainty. Already on the fourth day of the conflict, the Iranian Red Crescent has raised the death toll from the attacks to 787.
The statements from the US and Israel are betting on a war that will last “several weeks”, although experts point out that Iran’s resistance could extend the conflict for more months. Thus, the escalation of war in the region and its possible global effects have set off alarm bells around the world, with countries evaluating the consequences of what happens in the Middle East.
Which are the safest countries
In a context of growing climate of tension in the region and the world, The Mirror has published a kind of map with the safest places in the event of a Third World War, with the worst possible scenario and taking into account the neutrality of certain countries.
These would be the safest countries in the worst case:
- Antarctica.
- Iceland.
- New Zealand.
- Swiss.
- Greenland.
- Indonesia.
- Tuvalu.
- Argentina.
- Bhutan.
- Chili.
- Fiji.
- South Africa.
In the case of Antarctica, it is its extreme location, while Iceland is famous for its peaceful attitude in not taking part in any conflict, as is the neutrality of Switzerland, Indonesia and Bhutan. On the other hand, New Zealand would offer security due to its landscape full of mountains.
On the other hand, Greenland’s location would not make it so attractive to invaders, although Trump has already declared his intention to annex the island. The poor infrastructure of places like Tuvalu also plays a role and, on the contrary, the large amount of natural resources such as those in South Africa, Argentina or Chile could provide greater survival in conflicts.
