As mass protests and a severe internet blackout grip Iran, followers of modern prognosticator Athos Salomé are pointing to his past warnings as evidence of a foretold collapse. The Brazilian psychic, often called the “Living Nostradamus,” has a series of 2025-2026 predictions that believers directly link to the current Iranian unrest and the concurrent Venezuela crisis.
He didn’t name the protests directly. But in his characteristically cryptic way, Salomé had been speaking of the seeds of this moment. He warned of a world on the edge of “invisible warfare,” where societies crack under digital pressure, and the Middle East would enter a volatile new phase. For many of his followers, the screens going dark in Iran, just as crowds swelled, felt like a page from his playbook.
Did the ‘Living Nostradamus’ Predict the Iran Protests?
Brazilian psychic Athos Salomé built a following by mapping a treacherous 2025 and 2026. His warnings for the Middle East often circled around technology and tension. He spoke of a conflict moving underground—fought with drones, cyberattacks, and silent sabotage. Now, as Iran grapples with an internet blackout meant to stifle dissent, some see his prediction of a “silent stage” for war becoming reality on the domestic front. More broadly, his modern interpretation of the classic Nostradamus “great swarm of bees” quatrain is cited as a prediction of digital mass mobilization—a hallmark of the current protests that rely on social media despite government blackouts. Salomé’s emphasis on “invisible warfare,” which includes EMP technology and cyberattacks, is consistent with the technological struggle over internet access between demonstrators and the government.
What Did He Predict About Middle East Conflict?
Salomé’s predictions frame the region’s instability as the “beginning, not the climax” of a larger, technology-driven global conflict. He warned that confrontation between Iran and Israel would increasingly utilize artificial intelligence and drone warfare, creating a “silent stage” for broader war. A specific and unverified prediction of a “silent nuclear explosion” at an Iranian facility is cited by some as a potential flashpoint. Furthermore, his forecast of a “three days of darkness” from EMP attacks is seen as a scenario that could catalyze total societal collapse in already-unstable nations like Iran.
How Are These Predictions Linked to the Venezuela Crisis?
In January 2026, Salomé’s broader warnings of “global reconfiguration” were swiftly linked to the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Supporters link this incident to his forecast that Donald Trump would use resource control as a geopolitical “masterstroke” to challenge China and Russia. Salomé’s vision of a world shifting to a “geopolitical mafia” system, where power is exercised through “forced accords and underground currencies,” mirrors analyses of the strategic oil grab in Venezuela. He also warned of severe “knock-on effects” in South America, particularly for Brazil from migrant flows.
What Other 2026 Predictions Has He Made?
Salomé’s 2026 forecast reads like a checklist for global anxiety. Beyond the Middle East and South America, he points to a “massive solar storm” in mid-March that could plunge regions into darkness by knocking out power grids. He forecasts a direct military clash between NATO and Russia in the thawing Arctic this summer. On the economic front, he predicts a bold move by Saudi Arabia to shift financial power away from the U.S. dollar through an expanded BRICS alliance. And for those following the royals, he claims “explosive revelations” will lead Meghan Markle to step back from public life by the end of 2026.
So, Are These Predictions Coming True?
It’s the age-old question with prophecy. The verses of the original Nostradamus and the warnings of modern figures like Salomé are famously vague. They act as a mirror, reflecting our fears back at us once events occur. Scholars consistently note there are no specific dates or named modern leaders in the original texts—only ambiguous poetry. The connections are made in hindsight, a process called retroactive clairvoyance. The current turmoil in Iran and Venezuela provides a powerful canvas for believers to paint these prophetic links, seeing a foretold pattern in the chaos.
