🌍🔍 With rising tensions in Iran, a security expert has shared where to seek shelter in a nuclear attack. The lack of government guidance on this matter has been called “disgraceful.”
🏠🌆 If you find yourself in such a dire situation, heading underground is your safest bet! Think tube stations, your basement, or even just under the stairs. Stay put for 72 hours if possible, advises Anthony Glees, a professor from the University of Buckinghamshire.
🚨 Historian Dr Mark Felton warns that the UK is not prepared for such attacks, lacking crucial defence systems like Israel’s Iron Dome. 😰 If you live near key military sites, the reality is grim.
🚫 Avoid heading to hills or high-rise flats. Higher elevation means more danger in a nuclear scenario!
🔧🇬🇧 The UK government is stepping up by supporting Gulf allies with cutting-edge defensive tech and more Lightweight Multirole Missiles. Companies are mobilising to provide swift assistance against Iranian threats.
🛡️ Defence Secretary John Healey emphasises the importance of a strong force backed by innovative industry to face threats. Luke Pollard, Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry, highlights that this collaboration showcases Britain’s best.
🤝💪 Together, our armed forces and industry are working to defend British interests and allies in the Gulf. Stay informed and stay safe, everyone!
