The 12 safest places to stay if World War III breaks out

Following the attacks on Iran, fears of a global conflict have grown, and many people are wondering where they would be safest if a nuclear war broke out.

US strikes on Iranian military targets, dubbed “Operation Epic Fury,” and Iran’s counter-attacks on Israeli and American interests in the Middle East have sparked outrage in several countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar. Recent events, including the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, have heightened fears of a World War III scenario. In light of these developments, an article published by AOL lists some of the safest places in the world where people can take refuge in the event of a global conflict:

1. With its remote location and over 5.4 million square miles of untouched land, Antarctica is considered one of the safest places to avoid conflict.
2. Isolated and known as one of the most peaceful countries in the world, Iceland has maintained a neutral stance and has never been involved in wars or invasions.
3. NEW ZEALAND. The country ranks second on the Global Peace Index and has maintained a neutral stance in most international conflicts. Its mountainous terrain provides additional protection.
4. Known for its historical neutrality, Switzerland has a protective natural terrain and many nuclear shelters, making it one of the safest countries in the world.
5. As a remote island and territory of Denmark, Greenland has a small population and no strategic interest to global superpowers.
