Military conflict between the US, Israel and Iran is making the Middle East situation extremely tense, raising concerns about the risk of a larger war breaking out.
In that context, the predictions of blind prophet Baba Vanga and French prophet Nostradamus were suddenly widely recalled on social networks.
Many people believe that the predictions believed to be made by these two figures may be related to the current geopolitical situation, especially the possibility of a large-scale war lasting for months.
According to articles circulating online, blind prophet Baba Vanga of Bulgaria (died in 1996) was once believed to have predicted a global war that could occur around 2026. Some believe that current geopolitical hotspots, especially the Iran war, may be a sign that this prediction is gradually becoming a reality.
Along with that, many people also recalled a prophecy poem by Nostradamus - a 16th-century French astrologer. In a stanza believed to be written in the work "Les Prophéties", he mentioned "7 months of the great war", causing many people to speculate about the possibility of a conflict lasting for months and causing great losses to humanity.
These speculations appeared right when the Middle East was witnessing a new spiral of escalation. The US and Israel launched attacks targeting Iran. In response, Tehran launched attacks on a number of targets in the Gulf region such as UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
This series of military actions has caused many experts to worry that the conflict could spread throughout the region. The Middle East is considered one of the most complex geopolitical hotspots in the world, where many military forces are concentrated and located on important energy transport routes.
If the war expands, its impact will not only be limited to the region but could affect the global economy and security, especially oil prices, energy supply chains and international transportation.
Therefore, in the context of increasing instability, prophecies from centuries ago are strongly shared on social media platforms. However, many experts believe that most of these predictions are often reinterpreted to suit the events taking place.
Some researchers also noted that Baba Vanga did not leave any official records of her prophecies, and many popular predictions on the Internet were actually recorded or interpreted after her death.
However, the fact that ancient prophecies are repeated every time the world faces a crisis also reflects public anxiety about geopolitical fluctuations.
While mysterious predictions continue to attract public attention, experts believe that the future of the Middle East situation still mainly depends on the political and diplomatic decisions of the parties involved.
