The United States will start a war against Iran within the next five years, probably sooner, and will also experience internal 'civil war' in the form of political assassinations, attacks and violence.

Verdict Partly

The war half came true early: the US bombed Iran on 22 June 2025 and went to full war on 28 Feb 2026. Political violence did rise, including the June 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators and Charlie Kirk's assassination on 10 Sept 2025, but calling it a 'civil war' is a loose, generous reading.

What he said

So I predict that in the next five years, the United States will start a war against Iran, probably sooner, and then the United States will also start a civil 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.
