The ongoing conflict in Iran, which began on February 28, has now reached its sixth week, causing significant disruptions in global markets, particularly in energy sectors. As Iran retaliates against U.S. and Israeli strikes, U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to intensify military actions over the coming weeks. Amidst this turmoil, attention has turned to Nostradamus, the 16th-century French astrologer, whose writings are being interpreted by some as predicting a 'seven-month great war' in 2026. One notable passage suggests a connection to current events, although interpretations vary widely. Some analysts link Nostradamus' imagery to broader geopolitical tensions, including potential conflicts involving Russia and the ongoing situation in Ukraine. Despite the intrigue surrounding these interpretations, many historians argue that Nostradamus' writings are cryptic and should not be seen as accurate predictions of future events. They emphasize that connections drawn between his verses and contemporary events are often retrospective and speculative.
