World War Three fears escalated today after it was revealed there is “much high tech weapons in the Gulf” amid escalating US and Iran tension. The bad feeling between the nation states has

been evident for months, with Iran pulling out of an arms deal prompting nuclear conflict worry. Express.co.uk has previously reported the best geographical country to flee nuclear warfare.

Yet the most effective country within which to find a nuclear fallout shelter has now come to light.

Iran playing a ‘dangerous game’ as weapons could cause escalation

Britons who fear potential WW3 conflict should head to Switzerland, according to experts.

It is claimed the region has had an extensive network of fallout shelters since the 1960s.

The law ensured all residential buildings created after 1978 contained a nuclear shelter, which could withstand a blast from a distance of 700 metres.

Subsequent laws showed residents should have at least a shelter near to their accommodation.

The country additionally contained the world’s largest nuclear fallout shelter, which aimed to protect 20,000 residents.

The journal Nuclear War Survival Skills said as of 1986: "Switzerland has the best civil defence system, one that already includes blast shelters for over 85 per cent of all its citizens."

Therefore Britons worried about potential nuclear fallout could well consider life in Switzerland.

The country is easily accessible from the UK, with flights of under two hours and direct routes.

Meanwhile, talking of the increasing Iran-US conflict potential, gulf analyst Bill Law argued there is yet to be any concrete evidence indicating Iran was responsible for the recent oil

tanker attack on the US.

However, he added that in the event that it was the nation, it would be a “dangerous game” with the US to show the growing pressure they are suffering from.

While speaking on Sky News he said: “We still don’t know if Iran was responsible for these attacks on the tankers (which the US accused Iran of orchestrating).

“But that would certainly be one way of expressing a fight back against the kind of pressure Iran is under.

“But that is a game that can easily spin out of control, given there is so much high tech weaponry in the Gulf region right now.

“It is becoming increasingly unstable and it is definitely a worrying time.

“Can that cycle be broken? Can there be a drawing down of the rhetoric towards war? We will have to wait and see."
