Baba Vanga's 2025 predictions: Is the next world war just around the corner - here's what she predicted about the global wars and other crisis
Baba Vanga , the Bulgarian blind mystic, has been both fascinated and frightened for decades. Famous for her strange talent for predicting major global events, her predictions have gained her both a devoted audience and deep-seated skepticism. With 2025 looming, Vanga's predictions, particularly on war, economic meltdown, and natural catastrophes, are being reevaluated. Her dark prophecies have also re-awakened with the new predictions as to whether they are something beyond coincidence, thanks to the current geopolitical weather. Baba Vanga 2025 predictions of global conflicts The most ominous 2025 prophecy by Baba Vanga is that there will be a catastrophic war in Europe. The prophet had predicted the war as the start of humanity's downfall. In the recent past, tensions in Europe have been rising, especially in places like Ukraine where already there has been constant war that has attracted several world powers. Vanga's prophecy implies that the war may be apocalyptic, not only for Europe but for the whole world. The concept that war would be the "decline of humanity" is part of a larger story about the future of global stability. With nations moving to reinforce their military posts and alliances, the specter of another total war hangs in the air, with some experts cautioning that geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe are on the verge of escalating into something much worse. Baba Vanga's vision of a war that might be a turning point for mankind's history is in line with increasing fears of an increase in global military conflicts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Historic Figures Who Were Actually Photographed Gloriousa Undo Baba Vanga predicted 2025 as the year of economic chaos Apart from foretelling war, Baba Vanga foresaw a worldwide economic collapse in 2025. Her prophecy envisioned an economic collapse occurring hand in hand with geopolitical instability, which could be precipitated by policies and actions destabilizing world markets. The prophecy has been more relevant as the world is now suffering from economic instability in 2025. The world economy is already under stress due to tense relations between great powers. For instance, the United States has placed hefty tariffs on China, including a 145% tariff on certain Chinese goods. The resulting trade war has destabilised the world economy, causing supply chain disruptions and a fear of an economic meltdown. Such economic tension appears to justify Vanga's prediction of global chaos, and her prophecy of a global collapse appears very possible. The world economy is so interconnected that a collapse in one large economy can ripple throughout the entire world, spreading overall financial chaos. As inflation increases, markets swing, and more countries become protectionist, the potential for an economic disaster hangs over everything at all times. Now, time alone will tell whether the happenings of 2025 will fulfill Baba Vanga's dire prophecy or remain a threat that never comes to pass. Baba Vanga warned of massive earthquakes in 2025 Baba Vanga also predicted natural disasters but specifically intense earthquakes in 2025. These earthquakes, in her words, would hit the Earth with a tremendous amount of power, leading to wholesale destruction and human loss. This is one prediction that has already been fulfilled in part, as the world is experiencing heightened seismic activity. At the beginning of 2025, a gigantic 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar and claimed the lives of more than 1,700 people, in addition to the extensive destruction left in its wake. The devastating catastrophe was preceded by strong aftershocks in neighbouring countries like Thailand and Tonga. The recent natural disasters are already triggering fears that Baba Vanga's prophecy about cataclysmic earthquakes is happening. The link between her prophecies and the recent earthquakes has added to public fear. If Vanga's earthquake prediction in 2025 comes true, it could be part of a long chain of escalating natural disasters due to climate change, human actions, or plain ordinary cosmological happenstance. The question then arises: is this just a coincidence, or are the movements part of an extensive, irreversible chain? Baba Vanga's glimpse into the distant future raises new questions Baba Vanga was not concerned with the short term alone; her prophecies extend very far into the future. Among her more bizarre prophecies are human exploration of Venus within 2028, the coming of global communism within 2076, and contact with alien civilizations within 2130. Such predictions, as fanciful as they are, chart the course of humanity far beyond the year 2025. Her visions of space exploration, especially a Venus mission, mark the increasing interest in interplanetary travel. With space agencies such as NASA and private entities such as SpaceX mapping out ambitious Mars missions and further, Vanga's vision of going to Venus is no dream. Likewise, her vision of world communism defies the direction that world politics will take in the next few decades. Long-term prophecies given by Vanga are still controversial. While others do not consider them to be real but works of fiction, others consider them a warning of the destiny of mankind. Whether we consider these visions real or not, they do continue to stir controversy over our destiny here on Earth and in space. Baba Vanga's prophecies While most of her prophecies are vague, Baba Vanga has gained a reputation for being capable of accurately predicting major events across the globe. Her reported 85% success rate in prophecies is quoted by those who justify her predictions by citing instances of real, accurate prediction of massive events such as the September 11 attacks, the assassination of Princess Diana, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Although most of her fans claimed that she had an impressive record, critics claim that her prophecies were often ambiguous and open to interpretation. The rate of success attributed to Baba Vanga is also typically called into question, critics arguing that her visions are a function of common human fears and inclinations rather than any supernatural capability. Yet the fact that so many of her prophecies have come to pass continues to give credence to the idea that there may be more substance to her visions than coincidence.

Choosing a different path from her father Aamir Khan 's cinematic legacy, Ira Khan has been steadily carving a space for herself through theatre initiatives and social work.

She expressed that she grappled with a sense of purposelessness and a fear of disappointing her family. Responding supportively, Aamir Khan stepped in to provide perspective.

"It doesn't bother me whether you earn money or not," he told her with warmth. "What matters most is that you're pursuing meaningful work and impacting lives for the better." Reflecting philosophically, he added, "Money is nothing more than a collective agreement — beyond that, it's just paper." Ira Khan is the daughter of Aamir and his first wife, Reena Dutta. She shares a close bond with her younger brother, Junaid Khan, who recently stepped into the world of cinema with his debut film, launched in 2024.
