Brazilian psychic Athos Salomé, often referred to as the “living Nostradamus” had warned that the tensions will escalate in the Middle East this year. Salomé claims his earlier prophecies of deadly conflict between Israel and Iran are beginning to unfold, with even darker days ahead.
The Daily Star reported that he foresaw a future where geopolitical strife escalates beyond regional borders, threatening to destabilize the world.
Salomé had garnered attention for his uncanny foresight, which includes predictions of major global events like the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Covid-19 pandemic, and Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter.
Salomé’s prediction for a violent clash between Israel and Iran became real earlier this year. It started with an Israeli airstrike on April 1, 2024, that targeted the Iranian embassy in Syria. Less than two weeks later, on April 13, Iran retaliated by launching a massive offensive of drones and missiles at Israel. The Brazilian psychic believed this exchange is only the beginning of a far more destructive conflict.
The conflict escalated significantly as Iran launched some 200 missiles on Israel earlier this week, with most of them — but not all — intercepted by Israeli air defences with help from allies.
“The situation in Israel is currently tense and intricate, characterized by a cycle of violence deeply rooted in historical, political, and religious issues,” Salomé had said, reflecting on the fragile peace in the region.
While his initial vision centered on disputes over oil resources, particularly involving the now-deceased Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, his more recent insights offered a far broader scope.
“The worst is yet to come, as the great leaders, adherents of occultism, use these practices to achieve surgical precision and choose the exact moment for their attacks and major events.” The Daily Star quoted Salomé saying.
According to the Daily Mail, Salomé had also suggested that modern conflicts in the Middle East may heavily rely on artificial intelligence (AI). “AI could either serve as a peacekeeping tool or exacerbate conflicts, depending on how it’s deployed,” he said.
According to the psychic, both Israel and Iran may increasingly use AI to shape their military strategies, adding an unsettling dimension to the already complex hostilities.
Salomé also points to a growing threat of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strikes—a form of warfare that could cripple electronic infrastructure and lead to widespread chaos. He believes that superpowers like the United States, Russia, China, and even North Korea are edging towards the use of EMP technology.
Salomé’s prophecy includes a scenario he calls the “three days of darkness,” a period in which EMP attacks would bring down power grids, plunging societies across the globe into turmoil. Should this vision come true, nations may find themselves grappling with the collapse of essential systems.
