Middle East war predictions: 20 Jul-1 Aug 2026

This post is regarding the period from 20 July to 1 August 2026 for areas that are likely to see strong violence and other malefic incidents. You would need a paying subscription in order to read this post. In case you are not yet subscribed, you may do so here. Soon after this period starts, the post will be made accessible to all for reading.

In my predictions for the 13-23 July period, I had expected the war to continue and expand. Parts of Saudi Arabia, parts of Jordan, the Kurdish areas of Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Khuzestan of Iran and the Gaza Strip were some of the areas given by me as liable to major airstrikes, and all that has indeed occurred, with the Iran-Iraq border area also seeing a notable earthquake; however, Israel and the Tehran-Isfahan area of Iran, to my knowledge, have still not seen strikes or major violence, so far belying what I had anticipated for these areas.

Now what happens next?

The predictions for 2o July-1 August suggest heavy war, with two main theatres: UAE area; and Bushehr-Khuzestan-Basrah-Kuwait-Dammam-Bahrain-Qatar area. The Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant may see incidents near it and even to itself. Strikes are also anticipated by me to continue off Chabahar and off Oman. Israel-Lebanon-Palestine seem "quiet," overall, during this period.

Now, if my anticipation about the continuation and heaviness of war during 20 July-1 August 2026 is wrong, then instead of strong events of a war, one would get relatively "minor" incidents: accidents, landmines exploding, light and moderate quakes, storms, etc. However, the happening of events is near-certain near the prediction lines: the only question that remains is of their intensity. Everything operates in the context of relativity, as astrology is defined by an event's imprint on mass consciousness.

Let's get on now with the actual prediction lines.

PREDICTIONS

Noteworthy malefic incidents, strong ground activity (collapse of buildings and structures, fall of objects to the ground, earthquakes, landslides, etc.), airstrikes and/or notable accidents are likely near (within 250 km of the line, but mostly much, much closer) the following prediction lines. You may extrapolate all lines further at both their ends; I have looked only at the most relevant sections, but events can occur on extrapolated sections of the lines, too.

(For dates till 23 July 2026, this post ought to be read in conjunction with the earlier-published predictions for 13-23 July 2026 period.)

• Straight line running through 29°00′N, 60°51′E (south of Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran). Strong rains, incidents bringing casualties, and troubles for public servants, the old, the wealthy, and religious authorities could also occur near this line.

• Line between 26°36′N, 58°09′E (near Banshangar, Hormozgan, Iran) and 23°36′N, 56°43′E (near Dahir Al Fwaris, Oman). Strong airstrikes, network outages (power, IT, water, etc.), storms or strong winds, and troubles to authorities or those in high positions likely near this line. The Iranian section of the line, in particular, may see very heavy rain as well as very strong airstrikes.

When extended south to 17°23′N, 53°58′E (near Rawiyyah, Oman), the line can be seen skirting Oman-Saudi Arabia border and going very close by the Omani port of Salalah (not shown).

• Line between 27°41′N, 54°49′E (near Nehriz, Fars, Iran) and 24°00′N, 53°04′E (near Al Hadwaniyyah الهدوانية, Baynounah, Abu Dhabi, UAE). Troubles to those in power or to royals also could occur near this line. Some areas near this line may see very high temperatures.

• Straight line running through 22°48′N, 51°08′E (northeast of Al-Obailah, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia). This is a highly malefic line: strong airstrikes, network outages (power, IT, water, etc.), storms or strong winds, and troubles to authorities or those in high positions likely near this line. Major or very heavy airstrikes and/or a notable earthquake likely in the prediction section shown, which contains all of Qatar and Bahrain, among other places:

When extended north, the line passes very close by Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant:

• Line between 31°36′N, 49°58′E (near Tembi, Khuzestan, Iran) and 27°00′N, 47°50′E (west of Ghanwa, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia). This is a very highly malefic line, which passes almost right through Saudi capital Riyadh, and the entire Kuwait lies within its prediction range. Major airstrikes likely near this line. Major troubles for those in powerful positions, for religious figures and for criminal networks also likely near this line. Notable incidents of violence, crime or espionage likely near this line.

• Straight line running through 31°41′N, 45°20′E (northeast of Al-Masal آل‌مصال, Al Muthanna Governorate, Iraq). The prediction section shown here is highly malefic:

• Straight line running through 31°00′N, 36°49′E (northeast of Bayir, Ma'an Governorate, Jordan).
