'Living Nostradamus' warns his darkest prediction may still happen after getting two major 2026 events correct
Athos Salomé, the Brazilian mystic widely known as the 'Living Nostradamus', believes two of his predictions for 2026 have already come true, but says an even more alarming prophecy could still be on the horizon.
The 39-year-old parapsychologist has built a reputation for making bold forecasts, previously claiming he predicted both the Covid-19 pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Salomé's predictions for 2026
In December last year, Salomé published a list of 10 predictions for 2026, one of which centred on growing instability in the Middle East.
At the time, he warned: "Tensions in the Middle East are expected to reach a critical threshold."
He also suggested that disagreements over Iran's uranium enrichment programme would "ignite a new and profound period of regional instability, specifically around the second quarter of 2026."
Following the escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel earlier this year, Salomé believes that prediction has now come to pass.
The self-described seer also says he was pleased with another of his forecasts – predicting the winner of this year's World Cup.
Speaking previously to the Express, Salomé claimed the eventual champions would represent the colors of fire, narrowing the field to nations including Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, France, Morocco, Argentina, and England due to their away kits.
After Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 to lift the prestigious trophy, Salomé argued the result matched what he had anticipated.
"While many psychics and commentators around the world were predicting Portugal or other nations to lift the trophy, I identified the finalists and repeatedly emphasized Spain as the most likely champion," he said.
"The outcome has now reflected those predictions."
Salomé's other predictions are even more chilling
Despite pointing to those forecasts as successes, Salomé says his biggest concern is what could happen next.
Speaking to Tyla, he warned that rising military activity in the Arctic could dramatically increase the risk of war.
"The most recent interceptions indicate that Russia is moving missile systems to strategic areas in the Arctic," he claimed.
"This increases the likelihood of direct confrontations with NATO during the ice melt in 2026, a time when new shipping routes and energy reserves could play a crucial role."
He also predicted that instability could spread across Africa's Sahel region, pointing to Niger as a potential flashpoint.
"With the rise of extremist groups in northern regions of Niger, I believe that the area could become a scene of indirect confrontation between nations seeking to preserve their influence after the departure of Western troops," he warned.
Salomé has previously explained that his forecasts are based on a combination of symbolism, historical patterns, and spiritual study.
"My approach combines symbolic analysis, long-term pattern observation and my studies in Kabbalah," he said.
According to Salomé, he searches for recurring cycles and meaningful connections before comparing those impressions with current world events.
"I look for cycles, synchronicities and elements that, in my experience, often precede major events. These impressions are then weighed against real-world developments before I share any public conclusion."
Despite his confidence, he insists his predictions should never be viewed as guarantees.
"I also believe it's important to say that no predictive method is infallible. Predictions are interpretations, not certainties," he said.
The mystic added that accurately forecasting world events brings a sense of responsibility rather than personal satisfaction.
"When you make a public prediction weeks in advance – especially when most opinions point elsewhere – and the outcome unfolds as anticipated, it reinforces confidence in the work behind it."
He concluded: "But I always see each correct prediction as a responsibility rather than a trophy."
