Verdict Partly

Khamenei did die within five years: he was killed in a US-Israeli strike on 28 Feb 2026. The Raisi half could not happen because Raisi died in May 2024; Mojtaba Khamenei was named Supreme Leader on 8 March 2026.

Iran & Middle East

If the IRGC killed Raisi, Iran will escalate: faster nuclear program, more violent proxies, shipping disruption and a terror campaign.

The premise (that the IRGC killed Raisi) was never shown; Iran's investigation blamed weather and technical failure. Some escalation did follow: Iran's missile strike on Israel on 1 Oct 2024, faster growth of its 60%-enriched uranium stockpile, and continued Houthi attacks on shipping. But Hezbollah and other proxies were badly weakened in 2024, and no global terror campaign took place.

War & WWIII

The US will lose a war with Iran, and the war will be brutal for Iran, with tens of millions of Iranians dying.

The US-Israel war on Iran began 28 Feb 2026, went through a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire (8 Apr) and the Islamabad Memorandum (17 Jun), collapsed 8 Jul, and is still unresolved in Oct 2026, with indirect talks via Qatar. Iranian deaths so far are roughly 3,500 to 10,000 (Iranian government, HRANA, OCHA and US/Israeli figures), nowhere near tens of millions. Neither side has lost yet.

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.
