Athos Salomé, a Brazilian psychic who refers to himself as the "Living Nostradamus," claims that two of his predictions for 2026 have already come true and that a third, potentially globally catastrophic event, is currently unfolding. Salomé previously gained attention for allegedly foretelling the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
One of Salomé's alleged fulfilled prophecies involved rising tensions between Iran and Israel. He stated in December of the previous year that tensions in the Middle East were expected to reach a critical threshold, specifically mentioning increased activity around Iran's uranium enrichment program in the second quarter of 2026. This prediction aligns with recent events where Iran launched what U.S. officials described as a "surprise attack" involving a ballistic missile against a U.S. base in Jordan. In response, President Trump reportedly demanded a cease-fire from Iran, warning of consequences for any further attacks. These actions led to retaliatory strikes from the U.S. and a halt in the de-escalation of the conflict.

Salomé also claimed credit for predicting the outcome of the FIFA World Cup final, stating that the champions would bear the "colors of fire." He identified Spain as the most likely champion, a prediction that materialized when Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 on July 19, 2026, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This outcome aligns with his earlier emphasis on Spain as the probable winner.
Emerging Threats
The psychic's third unfolding prophecy reportedly involves a hostile situation with Russia, which he claimed was moving missile systems to strategic areas in the Arctic. Salomé warned this could increase the likelihood of direct confrontations with NATO during the period of Arctic ice melt in 2026, as new shipping routes and energy reserves become significant factors. Experts have noted that the receding Arctic ice could present both economic opportunities and increased military presence for Russia, though some analyses suggest that melting ice could also make Russian nuclear weapons more vulnerable.
Salomé's other predictions from his list of 10 for 2026 include a stalemate between Russia and Ukraine, escalating but non-invasion tensions between Taiwan and China, and outbreaks of public health issues such as bird flu, dengue, and mpox. He also identified Africa's Sahel region as a potential flashpoint, with extremist groups in Niger possibly engaging in conflict with rivals following the withdrawal of Western forces.
