NEW: The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in an emergency meeting on Monday that the escalating conflict in Iran “risks collapsing the global nuclear non-proliferation regime,” and that if diplomacy is not pursued, “violence and destruction could reach unimaginable levels.”

Fordow has nearly 3,000 centrifuges stored some 90 meters underground. It was unclear as of Monday morning just how much damage the strikes did to the Fordow site, although some of the damage was visible from satellites. It is unclear just how much nuclear material has been destroyed thus far.

The US concentrated its attack on Fordow, an enrichment plant built hundreds of feet underground. Aerial photos give important clues about what damage the “bunker-buster” bombs may have caused. More on that here:

In a flash, a nuclear warhead unleashes the destructive power of hundreds of kilotons of TNT. The resulting inferno, and the blast wave that follows, instantly kill people directly in their path. But a 2023 study found that some people two to seven miles away could survive.

Survive for what exactly? A nuclear wasteland, everything including food and water contaminated with radioactivity and we enter into a slow death as a planet? But sure, we can survive the initial blast. This is absolute insanity no matter how its looked at.

You might be able to live through the initial blast -- but not the results. Radiation poisoning is deadly, but it takes time to kill you. Societal collapse is pretty quick, and it WILL kill you. How many people have a well producing clean water? How many can raise enough food to feed themselves?

What I plan to do during a nuclear war: 1. Go to the nearest big city. 2. Try to be as close to downtown as possible. 3. Wait for missile to explode. 4. Be instantly incinerated and have to worry about radiation sickness, starvation, etc. There is no way to win a nuclear war.
