Trump’s Middle East War Sparks Nostradamus Prediction Buzz Online

One verse frequently cited is the so-called “seven-month war” prediction: “Seven months great war, people dead through evil. Rouen, Evreux the King will not fail.” Some claim it foretells a third world war beginning in 2026.

However, historians note that Nostradamus never attached specific years to most of his prophecies. The places mentioned in the verse — Rouen and Évreux — refer to 16th-century French locations, not the modern Middle East. Similar claims have resurfaced during previous global conflicts, often fueled by confirmation bias — the tendency to match vague predictions to current events after they occur.

Meanwhile, the current conflict continues to unfold. US President Donald Trump said the strikes aimed to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, while Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful.
