Professor Xueqin Jiang made three predictions in 2024, two of which have already been fulfilled to the letter. His third, chilling prediction about an ongoing war between the US and Iran has gone viral. The author adamantly stands behind his claims, the portal writes. The man who is nicknamed the “Chinese Nostradamus” brings a shocking insight into the conflict in the Middle East that few expected.
A teacher and the face of a wildly popular YouTube channel, he became an internet sensation after two of his three 2024 predictions hit reality with remarkable accuracy. He presented his visions in May during lectures at a high school in China, where he works. Jiang then declared that he believed in the victory of Donald Trump in the election and his return to the White House.
However, he also added a more sinister part to it. “If Trump becomes president for a second term, there is a very high probability that the United States will go to war with Iran,” he declared. Both predictions turned out to be absolutely accurate. The Chinese Nostradamus outlined that one of the main reasons for the US entering the war would be the interests of Israel. This is the reality we are witnessing right now.
The third frosty forecast
So what is Jiang’s third and final prediction regarding the US-Iran conflict? American defeat. The academic delved into theoretical war scenarios and explained why an attack on Iran would spell disaster for the superpower. „The third great prediction is that the United States will lose this war, which will change the global order forever.” quoted by the Daily Star.
Jiang argues that Iran’s demographics and rugged topography will make any long-term US occupation impossible. Extensive logistics networks, strong internal resistance, and harsh terrain would quickly turn initial battlefield victories into catastrophic strategic defeat, he said. “If this war were to happen, there is absolutely no way America could win it,” he stated in one of the clips.
The professor, who will teach at the Moonshot Academy in Beijing from 2022, formulates his forecasts based on an examination of recurring geopolitical motifs, historical patterns and game theory. According to Jiang, Iran was equally eager for the conflict. “The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) wants war with the US because they are outraged by US interference in their affairs. The US is looking for a reason and Iran wants to give it to them.” he declared.
The viral academic recently appeared on the American news show Breaking Points, where he discussed current developments. “Based on my analysis of how the war is progressing, I think Iran has a lot more advantages over the US. The reality is that this is a war of attrition and the Iranians have been preparing for this conflict for 20 years.” he said in a March 2, 2026, video.
According to him, last year’s June 12-day conflict was just a “practice” during which the Iranians analyzed the striking capabilities of Israel and the US. He added that Iran’s allies – Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis – already they have understood the American mentality and have a strategy to weaken and eventually destroy the “American Empire”.
“What the Iranians are doing is a war against the entire global economy,” warns Jiang. It describes attacks on GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries and their critical energy infrastructure. He warned that a drone attack on a desalination plant could leave millions without water within weeks – with reports already confirming a raid on such a facility in Bahrain.
In addition, according to him, Iran effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, through which 90% of the food for the Persian Gulf countries flows. Jiang added that the pressure to send ground troops to Iran will grow. “History does not know a president who managed to change the regime only out of thin air. You will need ground units. The pressure from Israel and the Gulf countries, now under fire from Iran, will be unbearable.” he noted. We just have to watch whether the third premonition of the “Chinese Nostradamus” will come true.
