An academic acquiring the title ‘China’s Nostradamus’ has predicted how the US-Iran war in the Middle East will end.
Professor Xueqin Jiang, a Chinese-Canadian teacher and host of a hugely popular YouTube channel, is becoming an internet sensation for the three forecasts he delivered back in 2024 – two of which have already materialised with remarkable precision.
In May 2024, Jiang delivered three predictions during his lessons at the High School in China where he works, with footage subsequently posted to his acclaimed YouTube channel, Predictive History, which presently boasts 1.87million subscribers.
Jiang, who is a Yale College alumnus, stated he believed Donald Trump would triumph in the 2024 election and return to office, successfully clinching a second stint in the White House. That was his first prediction and it came to pass.
He accompanied his forecast with another ominous projection, saying: “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.”
This was his second prediction and it’s already happened as he said.
Jiang outlined one of the key reasons behind why the United States would enter into war with Iran would be owing to Israel’s interests, something we’re witnessing unfold in real-time as the joint US-Israel Operation Epic Fury continues to rage.
Jiang’s third and final forecast was about the outcome of the US-Iran confrontation. He predicted an American defeat.
Delving into theoretical warfare scenarios and speculative situations, Jiang outlined why a US assault on Iran would spell disaster the US.
He said: “The third big prediction is that the United States will lose this war, which will forever change the global order.”
Standing firmly behind his trio of forecasts across multiple videos uploaded to his channel, the academic contended that Iran’s demographics and topography would render any extended American occupation of its lands impossible, as the Middle Eastern nation’s stretched logistics networks, formidable internal opposition, and rugged landscape would rapidly transform any early battlefield victories into disastrous strategic defeats, reports the Mirror US.
Jiang forecast in one clip on his platform: “If this war [US-Iran] were to happen, there’s absolutely no way America can win this war.”
The history and philosophy lecturer drew comparisons between a hypothetical American invasion of Iran and the Sicilian Expedition of 415-413 BC, which witnessed Athens mounting an enormous military offensive against Sparta, Syracuse and Corinth in an attempt to seize and control Sicily – a conflict that ultimately concluded in disaster for the Athenians.
Teaching History and Philosophy from 2022 at Moonshot Academy Beijing, the professor formulates his predictions by scrutinising recurring geopolitical incentives, historic patterns, and Game Theory.
