Middle East war predictions: 31 July-7 August 2026

In my predictions for the 20 July-1 August period, I had expected the war to continue and intensify. I had expected two main theatres: UAE area; and Bushehr-Khuzestan-Basrah-Kuwait-Dammam-Bahrain-Qatar area. However, as of the time of writing, the UAE did not witness any strong action. The other theatre did. Several parts of Saudi Arabia, very close to one of my prediction lines, also saw strong action.

Now what happens next?

The predictions for 31 July-7 August are actually predictions for 28 July-7 August, but I was too occupied to publish them earlier. However, I hope they are still useful. I expect the war to continue and be based in five main theatres: the Gulf of Oman-Balochistan area; Khuzestan-Basrah-Kuwait area; Kurdish areas of Iran and Iraq; Red Sea-Makkah area; and Lebanon-Israel-Palestine area. Bushehr-Bahrain-Qatar area may continue to see some heavy strikes, as may parts of Jordan and some other parts of Saudi Arabia.

Now, if my anticipation about the continuation of war during 31 July-7 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 1 August 2026, this post ought to be read in conjunction with the earlier-published predictions for 20 July-1 August period.)

This post is published on 31 July 2026 at 19:22 hours UTC. This post won't be edited once it's published.

• Line between 26°00′N, 62°10′E (near Mand Kech, Balochistan, Pakistan) and 21°23′N, 60°18′E (off Al Ashkharah, Ash Sharqiyah South Governorate, Oman). This is a highly malefic line, with incidents bringing major casualties, as well as troubles to nobles/royals, people in high status, and troubles to scholars or religious communities also likely near it.

• Line between 30°00′N, 61°58′E (near Nasir Bala, Nimruz, Afghanistan) and 23°18′N, 59°00′E (off Qurayyat, Muscat Governorate, Oman). This is a highly malefic line. Troubles to those in high positions, troubles to power plants or waste processing facilities, notable criminal incidents, or major incidents of political powerplay could occur near it.

• Line between 28°00′N, 52°42′E (near Garmosht, Fars, Iran) and 23°00′N, 50°17′E (southeast of Nadqan, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia). Troubles to authorities, major storms and network outages (power, IT, water, etc.) also likely near this line. Major incidents of fires or explosions and/or major incidents involving firearms may be anticipated near this line.

• Line between 34°00′N, 49°13′E (near Nahre Miyan, Markazi, Iran) and 28°00′N, 45°45′E (near King Khalid Military City, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia). There may also be major accidents, strong conflicts, strong winds or storms, and strong troubles for the young, children, travellers, diplomats, mediapersons, and sailors/aviators near the line.

When extended south, the same line can be described thus, crossing the Red Sea: between 21°06′N, 42°16′E (northeast of Abu Muloh, Makkah Province, Saudi Arabia) and 15°00′N, 39°30′E (near Suru Superiore, Northern Red Sea, Eritrea).

• Straight line running through 32°00′N, 47°55′E (near Farhānkobor, Khuzestan, Iran). Troubles to nobles/royals, people in high status, and troubles to scholars or religious communities also likely near the line.

• Straight line running through 26°00′N, 45°46′E (near Ash Shahmah, Riyadh Province, Saudi Arabia). Troubles to those in high positions, troubles to power plants or waste processing facilities, notable criminal incidents, or major incidents of political powerplay could also occur near the line.

When extended north, the line can be seen passing through Kurdish areas of Iran-Iraq:

• Line between 35°30′N, 47°06′E (south of Abbasabab, Kurdistan, Iran) and 30°30′N, 44°01′E (near Wakast, Najaf Governorate, Iraq). Heavy rains could also occur near some parts of this line.

• Straight line running through 17°41′N, 42°32′E (near Al Habib, Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia). Violence performed by marginalised, outlawed or rebel groups, organisations or communities especially likely near this line. (The Ansar Allah, for example, would fit this description well.)

When extended north, the line passes close to Ar Raqqah of Syria (not shown), an area where factions of the Islamic State are still active.

• Line between 33°23′N, 39°32′E (northwest of Ardamah, Al Anbar Governorate, Iraq) and 27°53′N, 36°14′E (southwest of Tabuk, Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia). Major incidents of fire, explosions and firearms likely near the line.

• Line between 35°00′N, 36°06′E (near Ash Shaykh Badr, Tartus Governorate, Syria) and 33°00′N, 34°46′E (off Nahariyya, North District, Israel). All of Lebanon, Israel and Palestine lie within the prediction range of this line, following almost exactly the Mediterranean coastline. Major incidents of terrorism or violence likely near the line, which also appears highly malefic for air/water accidents and strong rains, as well as notable incidents of criminality, fraud or deception.

The line is already active, with Israeli forces carrying out a series of powerful detonations near Lebanon’s UNESCO-listed Beaufort Castle on July 31, 2026. Several other areas of southern Lebanon also saw explosions and shelling carried out by Israeli forces during July 30-31, 2026.

• Straight line running through 31°00′N, 33°20′E (near Bir al-Abd, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt).

• Straight line running through 31°00′N, 31°43′E (near Beni Ebeid, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt).

This line has been already active, with a drone strike at the Port of Damietta on July 29, 2026.
