A man dubbed the ‘Living Nostradamus’ has warned that President Donald Trump’s ceasefire between Israel and Iran will not hold and the UK will be ‘dragged into the conflict’.
Athos Salomé, 38, of Brazil, made a chilling prediction shortly after Trump launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and declared the war was ending.
The psychic noted that since Trump’s surprise claim of a deal on Monday, troops and reconnaissance satellites remain poised in the Middle East and drones are still deployed. Salomé insisted that the ‘war is not over’.
Salomé also warned Brits that the ‘first domino has already fallen’ and that it is only a matter of time before the UK becomes directly involved in the conflict.
‘Even more worrying is the silent involvement of the United Kingdom, which, although it has not made an official statement, is already moving its military bases in Diego Garcia to support American logistical operations,’ he claimed.
The UK will enter the war ‘not by choice, but by force of silent alliances, strategic treaties and hidden pressures that escape public scrutiny’, Salomé said.
‘Deep down, we are not talking about a ceasefire, we are talking about political survival, a possible freeze,’ Salomé told the Daily Mail.
‘Trump, who vowed to restore American greatness, now plays with the pieces of his own ego. Every move he makes is calculated: not to avoid war, but to avoid his downfall.’
Salomé explained that real peace does not emerge suddenly, or from a single statement.
‘It is merely a theatrical interlude in a script written to manipulate headlines, delay investigations and test how far misinformation can be sold as heroism,’ he said.
On Tuesday, the tentative ceasefire failed as both sides launched missiles at each other, and Trump in frustration dropped the F-bomb on live television.
He identified three possible scenarios that would escalate the UK’s involvement: an Iranian attack on the British base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz, and and Iranian cyber attack that could compel the UK to act in NATO’s defence.
Salomé in May warned that the world was ‘seconds away’ from a ‘silent nuclear crisis’ and that the destruction of an Iranian nuclear reactor would have global repercussions.
Last fall, he said he correctly predicted the Queen Elizabeth II’s death, the coronavirus pandemic, and Elon Musk taking over X (formerly Twitter).
At least one experts seems to agree with Salomé’s line of thinking.
Dr Bamo Nouri, who is a senior lecturer in international relations at the University of West London, told Metro on Tuesday that the conflict is ‘nowhere near’ over.
‘We are, at best, in a pause, shaped by calculation, not capitulation,’ he said.
Nouri said that interpreting Iran’s latest actions as signs of weakness or the regime’s final moves is misunderstanding how it operates.
‘Iran’s leadership sees its survival and regional influence as existential, and it has repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to absorb losses, act through proxies, and play the long game,’ he said.
‘The quiet that follows an exchange of missiles should not be mistaken for peace. It is often the eye of the storm.’
