The outlook for the future is looking grim. Brazilian psychic Athos Salomé, dubbed the "Living Nostradamus" across social media, claims that two of his major predictions for 2026 have already fully materialized—and a third, catastrophic prophecy is unfolding right now.

Salomé, who takes credit for predicting the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II, released a list of his top 10 events for 2026 late last year.

1. Middle East Escalation

The seer considers the dramatic escalation between Iran and Israel to be his first fulfilled prediction. “Tensions in the Middle East are expected to reach a critical threshold,” the self-proclaimed parapsychologist previously predicted.

Salomé claims he foresaw the crisis surrounding Iranian uranium enrichment well in advance and pinpointed the exact timeframe—the second quarter of 2026.

2. 2026 World Cup Final

Not all of the Brazilian’s predictions centered on war. Salomé claims credit for accurately predicting the 2026 World Cup Final, where Spain clinched a 1-0 victory over Argentina.

Earlier, the medium stated that the champion would be a team “bearing the colors of fire.” While several national teams fit that description, Salomé insisted on Spain. “While many astrologers placed their bets on Portugal or other favorites, I clearly singled out the finalists and emphasized that Spain would lift the cup. The result speaks for itself.”

3. The Dark Third Prophecy: The Battle for the Arctic

Salomé’s most chilling prediction—which he says is playing out right now—concerns the Arctic region and the escalating standoff between Russia and NATO.

The "Living Nostradamus" warned that Russia would begin moving missile systems into strategic zones across the Arctic: “This increases the likelihood of direct clashes with NATO during the 2026 ice melt — a period when new shipping lanes and energy reserves become the key to global dominance,” he warned.

Nuclear security experts confirm that melting Arctic ice has indeed turned the region into a powder keg, with militarization accelerating at record speed and the risk of an accidental conflict between nuclear powers higher than ever.

What Else Did the Prophet ‘Predict’ for 2026?

The remainder of Salomé’s 2026 forecast includes:

• A stalemate and prolonged deadlock in the Russia-Ukraine conflict

• Rising tensions around Taiwan and China (short of a full-scale invasion)

• A fresh wave of instability in Africa following Western troop withdrawals

• Global health outbreaks featuring bird flu, dengue fever, and mpox
