US & Israel attack Iran

The following, leaving out the weather predictions, were my predictions published on 5 December 2025 for Iran for the period of 21 December 2025 to 20 March 2026:

  • Death of someone with power possible.
  • Issues relating to the people to the fore, and huge changes could come to the country. Strong demonstrations could take place. The ruler's power, life or regime looks in strong danger and may finish, with the second half of February 2026 or early March 2026 looking the most sensitive. If ruler survives, ruler may travel or flee. Events may be sudden. The country is in a ferment, and several important discussions take place regarding matters touching the ruler and government.
  • There is high incidence of treachery and spying in the country during this period.
  • Prisons and/or hospitals may be busy during this period. There could also be some sickness going around in the country during this period.
  • Noteworthy accident or incident at a mine or related facility (refinery, etc.) or at some underground facility could happen.
  • The country may not do well in affairs of trade or revenue generation during this time.

If you have been following Iran, you would know how accurate so far these have been. They were made at a time when everything had seemed quiet.

Instead, when things had been unquiet, I had yet dared to predict quiet. On September 7, 2025, in my predictions for Iran published for the 22 September 2025 to 21 December 2025 period, I had said:

"Relations with neighbouring countries, may see somewhat of an upswing or stability, especially in the latter half of this period. Peace may prevail in this period. In case a conflict does happen, Iran may enjoy good results, but peace within this period is more likely. No huge overt development may occur within this period in the country's relations with the U.S."

Of course, I had said that "Underhand conspiracies against the country continue to flourish and augment," and the possibility of regime change had existed even in autumn, but had not come to fruition given the outward peace.

If you go further back in time, you would note that I get Iran usually very accurately right every time, even the exact dates when things would happen. Even now, 25 February-3 March 2026 have been on my critical dates list for Iran for a long time, and in my predictions, too, I'd said that the "ruler's power, life or regime looks in strong danger and may finish, with the second half of February 2026 or early March 2026 looking the most sensitive."

On February 28, 2026, midway through a peace dialogue mediated by Oman, Israel and US started striking Iran at dozens of locations: even a school for little girls in the town of Minab was not spared, with at least 51 girls, aged 7-12, dying, and the figures set to mount further. Iran started its own counterstrikes, targeting this time not just Israeli cities but also US military bases across the region, except in Oman.

Most locations that were involved in these strikes and counterstrikes were very close to prediction lines for notable "incidents of fire, violence or aggression" that I had published at Astro Weather Watch for the period of 22 February to 5 March 2026, if you happen to know my work there. (While the focus is on earthquakes, it is more than that.)

For those who don't know, I also publish a "global horoscope" of sorts at Astro Weather Watch for each month, and on 19 January, I'd published the global horoscope for February 2026. (While most posts are free to read, the global horoscope posts are available to only paid subscribers of Astro Weather Watch, given their strong commercial implications.)

The February global horoscope post had this to say:

"Feb 26-28: very malefic time, highly accident-prone, explosion-prone and violence-prone; could also see uptick in earthquake activity and storms

Feb 27-28: a high amount of media chatter, in general, but in particular about the following: some Muslim land or community, stock markets, some celeb; strong precipitation accompanied by high winds in some places; instances of flattery or bullying in diplomatic circles or foreign relations may be seen"

As you may see, 26-28 February 2026, indeed, has brought about the kind of events predicted: remember that Pakistan and Afghanistan have also launched strikes and counterstrikes, killing hundreds of people, during these three terrible dates! (And those events, too, have happened near other prediction lines for notable "incidents of fire, violence or aggression.")

So, as far as Iran and the wider Middle East are concerned, what happens hereafter?

While I am yet to publish most of my country-specific predictions for Spring 2026 (those for the US, Canada and the Koreas are already published, for late March to late September 2026 period), there is still much to chew upon from existing posts.

  • The main aim of the Trump administration, I assume, and which is what I had said in my Iran predictions, is regime change.

I had said: "The ruler's power, life or regime looks in strong danger and may finish, with the second half of February 2026 or early March 2026 looking the most sensitive. If ruler survives, ruler may travel or flee. Events may be sudden."

Thus, I do not expect the Ayatollah to last in the saddle of power. His days, at least as the ruler of Iran if not his days on the planet, may be numbered.

  • Removing the Ayatollah may be easy, but what next? The US may want a pliable ruler, the Venezuela-like experiment, and there may be enough corruption in the IRGC, for someone to take up the ruler role, but will the proud Iranians accept a US-installed dummy? Knowing Iran and Iranians, I don't think they will. Ayatollah's removal, thus, may well create a dangerous power vacuum: dangerous more for the wider Middle East region more than for Iranian people, who anyway have something to gain as well, though at the cost of many lives, if the intensely disliked Ayatollah regime is removed.
  • Removal of the Ayatollah and people's unwillingness to accept a US dummy may mean a long power struggle in the country. Russia and China, too, would have every interest to keep people reminded of their pride and history. On June 14, 2025, I had said for Iran that "The country is entering now a period of several years long in which its identity and system of governance will go through a radical change."
  • Israel's aims are different than for the US. The US under Trump would want to extricate itself from any potential mess after removing the Ayatollah and finding someone to delegate power to, amenable to Israel, US and maybe some Arab states, too. The US doesn't want to repeat its mistakes in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, Israel may want US presence to continue to be strong, unless Iran is highly decimated, which looks a very unlikely scenario.
  • If you look at my long-term predictions page, I'd also said this for Iran: "Relations with some nearby/neighbouring country(ies) will continue to suffer from deception and treachery during several oncoming years." If one assumes that this country is Israel, then that amenable ruler's possibility can be ruled out.
  • What further rules out the dummy ruler's possibility is that I have often talked about much of the Middle East to be engaged in war by 2028. Look at the long-term (2024-2038) predictions on the same page for Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and also the world in general. See also what I say about the 2025-2031 and 2025-2033 periods.
  • Finally, let us see a couple of points I had made in my US predictions for 20 March 2026 to 22 September 2026 period, published on 17 January 2026: (1) "Expenditure on armed forces and/or security forces ... continues to be very high." (2) "Foreign affairs are troublesome, and the country may enter military conflicts. Major realignments start in foreign relations from late April 2026 onwards, though this shift may become more prominent only in the summer and later on in the year. From late April 2026 onwards till 2033, the country is entering a period of major wars..."

Thus, I expect the Iran situation to continue, even if the Ayatollah be removed, and widen into a war that engulfs many Middle Eastern countries and potentially even the US. I will soon be publishing predictions for Iran, Israel, Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia and several other countries for Spring 2026 and beyond.
