Verdict Partly

The escalation part came true: Trump bombed Iranian nuclear sites on 22 Jun 2025 and launched a full US-Israel war on Iran on 28 Feb 2026. That war drew in Gulf states, the Houthis, Hezbollah and Pakistani troops, but as of Oct 2026 it has not become a Third World War between great powers.

What he said

if Trump wins a second term in November, it is very possible that Trump will declare war on Iran or, at the very least, continue to escalate tensions with Iran. Good? which will most likely lead to a Third World War.

How calls are found and checked

Each transcript was read in full by an AI model to pull out predictions, with the exact quote and timestamp. Each one was then checked with web search against events up to the update date, with sources linked.

How the hit rate works

Spot a mistake? Report it. Hit rate = (came true + ½ partly) ÷ resolved calls. Claims that were already underway when he made them are left out. Open calls haven't reached a verdict; Unresolvable ones are too vague ever to check. Verdicts are AI-assisted and may contain errors.
