Officials at the World Health Organization have admitted that they are preparing for a “worst-case scenario” nuclear threat if the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran escalates.
Hanan Balkhy, WHO regional director for the eastern Mediterranean, said that staff remain “vigilant” for a nuclear incident following President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Iran in a joint campaign with Israel.
“The worst-case scenario is a nuclear incident, and that’s something that worries us the most,” Balkhy told Politico. “As much as we prepare, there’s nothing that can prevent the harm that will come … the region’s way — and globally if this eventually happens — and the consequences are going to last for decades.”
The official told the outlet that United Nations staff are preparing for an incident in “its broader sense,” including if there was an attack on a nuclear facility or the use of a weapon. “We are thinking about it, and we’re just really hoping that it does not happen,” Balkhy added.

Trump has tried to "outdo" every preceding Democratic president, even if in the "undo" sense.
I am sure he envies Truman for dropping the big one.
Not quite this ...
Don't forget, he copies Putin and bombing a nuclear plant is the same as dropping a nuke, just smaller, and I don't like the odds of that happening with either of those tyrants in charge.
"Woke AI" caused the Tomahawk to blow up the girl's school, the nuclear facility ... "
"So, sorry we killed all those children and poisoned the earth. Just one kind favor, please .... "
