Interesting to see how this will shake out, as 3 / 5 ( US, France, and UK) will likely back Israel, with Russia and China backing Iran

Iran requests emergency meeting of UN Security Council Iran has requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in the wake of Israeli attacks targeting its nuclear programme and military this morning, state media report.
Amir Saeed Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the UN, made a written request for an emergency meeting of the council, calling for it to take “decisive action … against these criminal acts”, Iran’s Tasnim state news agency reported.
“In a reckless, illegal and premeditated act, the Zionist regime has carried out a series of coordinated military attacks against the nuclear facilities and civilian infrastructure of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which are considered a clear violation of the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of international law, and whose dangerous consequences seriously threaten regional and international peace and security,” the letter said.
Dessalines@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Live updates - Israel launches major strike on Iran's nuclear and military sites.201·2 days agoI highly recommend watching the documentary Zero days which is almost a decade old now, but about stuxnet.
It was mainly developed by Israel and the US specifically to target this very facility (natanz), and try to blow up nuclear centrifuges and slow down Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.
The project failed (only managed to slow down their program for a few months) and was a prime case of blowback, since stuxnet infected critical infrastructure around the entire world, and even the US had to devote considerable resources protecting their systems from a virus they helped create.
I believe there’s a pretty low chance of any meltdowns or nuclear events, due to so many fail-safes.
