A possible US nuclear strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain facility could have consequences beyond the Middle East, with radioactive fallout potentially reaching parts of northwestern India, experts have warned. The facility, located in Iran's Isfahan province, is around 2,500 km from India and is believed to be buried deep inside a mountain. US President Donald Trump has threatened to target the site, while commentator Tucker Carlson has claimed Washington could consider a nuclear strike. However, the claims remain unverified. Experts say the spread of radioactive particles would depend on the weapon's strength, weather conditions and wind direction. (PC: India Today)
