A man known as ‘China’s Nostradamus’ has shared a prediction about the ongoing Iran war.
On February 28, US-backed Israeli strikes on Iran targeted military and government sites, killing Ali Khamenei and other senior figures.
The attacks prompted retaliatory missile strikes from Iran and marked the start of what analysts describe as the 2026 Iran war. The conflict has already pushed up global oil prices, with Donald Trump saying the spike is ‘a small price to pay’ for ‘safety and peace.’
But with no clear end in sight to the aerial bombardment of Iran, or its retaliatory strikes on oil infrastructure and other targets across neighbouring Gulf states, a troubling prediction about the US-Iran conflict has been issued.

Chinese-Canadian educator and presenter, known on social media as Professor Xueqin Jiang, has gained a following for the three predictions he shared in 2024. Two of them materialized, including one that stated Donald Trump would win the election again.
His other forecast was: “If he [Trump] does become president in a second term, there will be a very strong likelihood that the United States will go to war with Iran.
Jiang also predicted that one of the main factors behind a US conflict with Iran would be in the interest of Israel. Operation Epic Fury is the codename for the joint US–Israeli military campaign launched on February 28, 2026, targeting Iran’s missile, nuclear and military infrastructure.
The Yale College graduate’s third prediction regarding a US-Iran conflict was that it would lead to defeat for the US. Jiang explained why he believes this could happen and how it would change the world forever.

“The third big prediction is that the United States will lose the war, which will forever change the global order.”
He added: “If this war [US-Iran] were to happen, there’s absolutely no way America can win this war.”
Alarmingly, Jiang was recently featured on the US news series Breaking Points with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti where he discussed his thoughts on how the current conflict could evolve.
In the footage, uploaded on March 2 to YouTube, he said: “Given my analysis of how the war is progressing, I think that Iran has many more advantages over the United States. The reality is, right now, it’s a war of attrition between the United States and Iran, and Iranians have been preparing 20 years for this conflict.”
He continued: “They’ve had many practice runs. Last June was a 12-day war when the Iranians were able to examine and analyse the strike capacities of both the Israelis and the Americans. And they have had a lot of time, eight months, to prepare fully for this new attack.”
