Living Nostradamus had warned of Iran-Israel conflict escalation last year. What are his predictions for rest of 2025?
Athos Salomé, a self-proclaimed psychic often dubbed the "Living Nostradamus" had forewarned that tensions between Israel and Iran would intensify, and recent events have aligned with that vision. According to previous media reports, this Brazilian psychic had indicated in 2023 that violent escalation in the Middle East was imminent—and by 2024, his warnings appeared to be materializing. The situation reached a boiling point in April 2024 when Israel launched an airstrike on an Iranian diplomatic facility in Syria. In retaliation, Iran initiated a major counteroffensive on April 13, deploying hundreds of drones and missiles toward Israel. Although Israeli defenses, bolstered by international support, intercepted most of the missiles, the attack marked a serious turning point in the regional conflict. The psychic described the atmosphere in the region as fragile and entangled in layers of political, religious, and historical tensions. He had earlier suggested that this latest phase of confrontation was only the beginning, not the climax, of what could evolve into a much larger and darker conflict. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kulkas yang belum Terjual dengan Harga Termurah (Lihat harga) Cari Sekarang Undo AI and the Future of War In addition to traditional military threats , the psychic has warned of modern technologies influencing the course of global conflicts. According to earlier statements, artificial intelligence (AI) may play a critical role in how future wars unfold—particularly in the Middle East. He explained that AI could either serve as a force for peace or intensify hostilities, depending on how it is employed by military strategists in both Israel and Iran. This prediction raises concerns over the ethical and tactical use of AI in military applications, especially in high-stakes geopolitical environments. The involvement of intelligent systems in combat decisions adds an unpredictable and potentially dangerous layer to global security. Threat of EMP Warfare and 'Three Days of Darkness' Another chilling part of the psychic's forecast involves the possible use of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons. These weapons, capable of disabling electronic infrastructure, could lead to widespread societal collapse if deployed on a large scale. He mentioned that global powers including the United States, Russia, China, and North Korea may be inching closer to using such technology in future conflicts. Among the most disturbing of his visions is what he terms the "three days of darkness." In this scenario, EMP strikes would knock out power grids, causing massive disruptions in daily life and government operations. If such an event were to occur, it could paralyze entire nations, not just in the Middle East but across continents. Predictions for the Rest of 2025 Looking ahead, the psychic suggests that 2025 may hold even more intense global developments. While details remain vague, he believes that certain world leaders, allegedly guided by esoteric beliefs, are timing major actions with extreme precision. He noted that these figures use occult practices to decide when and how to carry out significant events on the world stage. In earlier predictions, he had indicated that initial tensions might center around control over oil resources, particularly under the leadership of the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. But as the year progresses, he anticipates broader geopolitical shifts, driven not just by politics or economy but also by hidden ideological forces.

Taiwan adds China's Huawei and SMIC to export control list
Taiwan has added China's Huawei Technologies and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp ( SMIC ) to its export control list, which includes other proscribed organisations like the Taliban and al Qaeda. Inclusion on the economy ministry's trade administration's strategic high-tech commodities entity list means Taiwanese companies will need government approval before exporting any products to the companies. The companies, both at the centre of China's chip and artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions, were included in an updated version of the ministry's trade administration's website. Neither company responded to requests for comment outside of office hours at the weekend.

Both Huawei and SMIC have been working hard to catch up in the chip technology race. Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory despite the strong objections of Taipei's government, already has tight chip export controls when it comes to Taiwanese companies either manufacturing in the country or supplying Chinese firms. Huawei is on a U.S. Commerce Department trade list that essentially bars it from receiving U.S. goods and technology, as well as foreign-made goods such as chips from companies like TSMC made with U.S. technology. Last October, TechInsights, a Canadian tech research firm, took apart Huawei's 910B AI processor and found a TSMC chip in it. The multi-chip 910B is viewed as the most advanced AI accelerator mass-produced by a Chinese company. TSMC suspended shipments to China-based chip designer Sophgo, whose chip matched the one in the Huawei 910B and, in November the U.S. Commerce Department ordered TSMC to halt shipments of more chips to Chinese customers. Taiwan's government has also repeatedly vowed to crack down on what it says are efforts by Chinese companies, including SMIC, to steal technology and entice chip talent away from the island. SMIC is China's largest chipmaker and has ramped up investment to expand production capacity and strengthen China's domestic semiconductor capability in the face of sweeping U.S. export controls.

Karnataka placed first in country for highest wind power capacity
Karnataka was awarded first place in the country for achieving the highest wind power capacity addition of 1,331.48 MW in the financial year 2024-25. State Energy Minister K J George received the award from Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, during the Global Wind Day 2025 celebrations themed 'Pawan-Urja: Powering the Future of India', held in Bengaluru on Sunday. Tamil Nadu and Gujarat followed Karnataka, adding 1,136.37 MW and 954.76 MW respectively, said a statement issued by the office of Minister George. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beyond Text Generation: An AI Tool That Helps You Write Better Grammarly Install Now Undo "This is not just a number-it is a reflection of Karnataka's unwavering commitment to clean energy," George said after receiving the award. He said the proactive policies, implementation capabilities, and vision have positioned Karnataka as a leader in the renewable energy landscape. Live Events The addition of 1,331 MW in a single year demonstrates the state's momentum in harnessing wind energy for a sustainable future, he explained. According to him, Karnataka's total installed wind power capacity now stands at 7,351 MW and is a testament to its consistent leadership in renewable energy. "This achievement is symbolic of our ability to execute large-scale projects and provide clean energy to industries, farmers, and households," the minister added. George reaffirmed Karnataka's support of the national target of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, of which 100 GW is projected from wind energy. "Karnataka is preparing to implement 17 GW of wind power projects, with over 5 GW planned under the Renewable Energy Cluster Programme. Infrastructure is being strengthened through the establishment of more than 20 substations, 400 KV corridors, and a Renewable Energy Reserve Zone," he told the gathering. George said that at the 2025 Global Investors Meet, the state signed Rs four lakh crore worth of investment agreements for renewable energy-nearly 40 per cent of the state's total investments, further demonstrating the confidence of global and domestic investors in Karnataka's green energy vision. Speaking on the occasion, Joshi said he found it especially meaningful to celebrate Global Wind Day in Karnataka-the land of Hanuman, the original symbol of wind power. Joshi was referring to the belief that Hampi in Karnataka was the ancient Kishkindha, the monkey kingdom of Ramayana era, where Hanuman was born. The union minister underlined India's global standing as the fourth-largest wind power generator, with an installed capacity of 51.5 GW. "The national goal is to reach 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, including 100 GW from wind power, of which 30 GW will come from offshore sources. Additionally, India exported 3.5 to 4 GW worth of wind turbines and modules in the current financial year," Joshi pointed out. He also emphasised on the key challenges ahead, which are ensuring 24x7 power supply and grid stability through integration of wind, solar, and pumped storage systems. Joshi also stressed upon prioritising competitive electricity tariffs and focusing on domestic manufacturing and exports to build India's green energy economy. On the occasion, the union minister released the report 'Ramping up local manufacturing for wind turbines in India', which outlines a roadmap for boosting domestic wind turbine manufacturing capabilities. Karnataka Additional Chief Secretary Gaurav Gupta told the audience that the state's installed wind power capacity now surpasses the combined capacity of countries like South Africa, Portugal, and New Zealand, and is comparable to that of Sweden and Australia.
