‘Chinese Nostradamus’ makes four chilling new predictions after Iran War claims
A Chinese man who earned the nickname of Nostradamus after making three incredibly accurate predictions is back with four more chilling claims for the future.
There's millions of people across the world right now who are desperately searching for some answers about the ongoing conflicts, whether it's between Ukraine and Russia or the US, Israel and Iran.
Considering some of the threats put out by world leaders including Donald Trump, it's easy to be concerned about the future of the planet, even if things haven't turned nuclear or officially into a global conflict quite yet.
Fortunately, it seems as if Chinese-Canadian academic Professor Jiang Xueqin might have some answers, especially after he was one of the first to predict a war between the US and Iran in the first place.

He recently appeared on the Diary of a CEO podcast where he was naturally asked for some more predictions for the future, and sadly none of them were particularly positive.
The professor's first prediction is that: "There will be a US civil war and Trump will get a third term."
When questioned about whether a third term would be constitutionally illegal, he replied: "There are things that are unconventional and immoral. And wrong and evil and dangerous. There are certain things that are illegal. Trump getting a third term is not illegal."
He goes on to explain the two loophole possibilities that the president could exploit to ensure he's still in the White House after the next election in November 2028, which include having someone such as his son or JD Vance run as president before abdicating to their VP, which would be Trump.
Another possibility is that by 2028, America is 'at war with everyone', which would allow him to suspend the constitution under emergency war powers.
"No sane person with any morality would do this, but that doesn't stop Trump", the professor added.
Xueqin's second prediction sees him suggest that there will be a 'grand bargain' between the United States and China.
He explained: "People expect that the United States and China will go to war at some point over Taiwan. China is probably happy with America being the world's hegemon (dominant state) because you have to invest so much of your resources into fighting these wars. China is going to try and triangulate between Russia and the US. China might help out Iran or provide financing for Russia but it's also going to strike deals with the US."
So while it might be good news that these two global superpowers might not lock horns directly, particularly after the impact on the economy from something as comparatively small as the tariffs last year, it seems as if Xueqin thinks that China will try and play both sides of the coin in the event of WW3.
His third prediction wasn't so geopolitical, as it sees him claim that the world will move towards an AI surveillance state. There's already evidence of this, whether it's police identifying the wrong people in crimes because AI says it's them, or Ring launching their new AI-powered cameras which are 'definitely' about finding lost dogs in the neighbourhood.
The professor states: "For the average person it means two things. It means digital ID and digital currency. That will allow the government to monitor everything you do online and control all financial transactions. They could programme your bank account, so you can't buy cigarettes or you can't buy drugs. Everyone will be categorised into a database to be monitored. Once you're able to categorise everyone, you are able to use AI to predict their behaviour. This already goes on in China."
His final prediction sees him suggest that East Asia will also break out into conflict, which considering the wars in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, certainly doesn't seem outlandish.
So, things aren't looking too positive.
The professor also spoke out earlier this year with his prediction for how the war might end, and it won't be music to Donald Trump's ears.
He said: "Given my analysis of how the war is progressing, I think that Iran has many more advantages over the United States.
"The reality is, right now, it's a war of attrition between the United States and Iran, and Iranians have been preparing 20 years for this conflict."
In the podcast, he also gave the terrifying insight that he simply cannot see an end to the war between the US and Iran right now.
