Middle East war predictions: 5-15 August 2026

In my predictions for the 31 July-7 August period, I had expected the war to continue. I had expected 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. All five have indeed been highly active already. There was also a widely felt, moderate earthquake near Suez as predicted.

Now what happens next, during 5-15 August? I expect the war to continue, especially by so-called proxy forces or in fringe areas much more than in Iran itself.

I expect the Red Sea, the Gulf of Oman/Arabian Sea, the Strait of Hormuz and even the Suez to be highly active in this period: thus, several critical waterways. Regarding Suez, the area looks active, but is it more quakes in the area, or is it violence or a major accident or storm? I cannot say for sure, except that the area looks strongly incident-prone.

Several parts of Saudi Arabia and the Kurdish areas of Iran-Iraq continue to look prominent as well. Activity is also likely in northern or central Iran, the Aqaba area of Jordan as well as Hormozgan-Dubai area.

Now, if my anticipation about the continuation of war during 5-15 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 7 August 2026, this post ought to be read in conjunction with the earlier-published predictions for 31 July-7 August period.)

• Straight line running through 26°11′N, 63°37′E (north of Hirronk, Balochistan, Pakistan). This is a strongly malefic line. Major troubles for those in powerful positions and/or for criminal networks also likely near this line. Notable incidents of violence, crime or espionage likely near this line. While Balochistan itself or Balochistan-Afghanistan border itself could see strong violence, however, in the context of the Iran war, the Arabian Sea area through which the line passes looks critical, with ships advised to be careful in this area.

• Line between 33°30′N, 62°57′E (near Dahane Osa, Herat, Afghanistan) and 28°00′N, 64°32′E (near Lala, Balochistan, Pakistan). Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line. It should be noted that Iran's bordering areas with Pakistan and Afghanistan lie within the prediction range of this line.

• Straight line running through 34°36′N, 59°30′E (near Howz-e Karam, Razavi Khorasan, Iran). Troubles to religious authorities, nobles or those in high positions as well as notable issues presenting legal difficulties likely near this line. The line passes close by Mashhad, a major religious center of Iran; note that northeastern Iran, through which the line passes, has been largely untouched by the war.

When extended south, the line passes through the Gulf of Oman (not shown).

• Line between 35°00′N, 51°45′E (near Shokrabad, Tehran, Iran) and 30°00′N, 53°39′E (near Kerehee, Fars, Iran).

When extended south, the same line can be described thus: between 26°48′N, 54°45′E (near Hasham-e Champeh, Hormozgan, Iran) and 24°00′N, 55°40′E (west of Bu Baqara, Al Buraimi Governorate, Oman). It should be noted that the line passes right through the city of Dubai (UAE):

• Straight line running through 29°00′N, 45°43′E (northeast of Samah, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia). Troubles to religious authorities, nobles or those in high positions as well as notable issues presenting legal difficulties likely near this line. It should be noted that the entire Kuwait as well Saudi capital Riyadh are well within the prediction range of the line:

When extended north, the line passes through Kurdish areas of Iran-Iraq:

• Straight line running through 16°00′N, 41°47′E (off Farasan Islands, Saudi Arabia). This is a highly malefic line. Major troubles for those in powerful positions and/or for criminal networks also likely near this line. Notable incidents of violence, crime or espionage likely near this line. It should be noted that Jazan Port (Saudi Arabia's third largest), Sanaa (the capital of Yemen) as well as Ansar Allah-controlled Hodeidah, all lie well within the prediction range of this Red Sea line:

• Line between 25°00′N, 41°39′E (near Bilghah, Al Madinah Province, Saudi Arabia) and 17°30′N, 44°32′E (southwest of Khbash, Najran Province, Saudi Arabia). Troubles to religious authorities, nobles or those in high positions as well as notable issues presenting legal difficulties likely near this line.

• Straight line running through 30°00′N, 33°01′E (southwest of Bir El Malhi, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt). Troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers/tourists, pilots/sailors, mediapersons and diplomats, communication troubles, and storms or strong winds also possible near this line:

• Line between 33°47′N, 32°51′E (south off Limassol, Cyprus) and 29°00′N, 35°13′E (near Alsharaf, Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia). Troubles for those in powerful positions and/or for criminal networks also likely near this line. Notable incidents of violence, crime or espionage likely near this line. Gaza as well as much of Israel, especially southern Israel, lie very close to the line. It should be noted that the line passes right through the Jordanian port city of Aqaba.
