The prophecy of a mystic dubbed the "Living Nostradamus" has been fulfilled four years on thanks to Donald Trump. Back in 2022, 39-year-old Athos Salomé, a parapsychologist who claims to have an impeccable record of accurately predicting major global events, said the Iranian regime would "fall apart within six years".

The Brazillian mystic spoke of a "curse" hanging over the leaders of Tehran in a number of social media posts. He prophesised the end of the Islamic Republic and that the people in Iran would be freed from persecution. Now, following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday (February 28), his prophecy seems to have been fulfilled.

Iranian state media confirmed he was killed at his office during US and Israeli attacks on the nation. A 40-day mourning period was announced while future leadership in Iran remains unclear.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the 86-year-old had been killed in strikes on Iran. He said: "He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do.

"This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. Hopefully, the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots."

His death has fulfilled the prophecy of Athos Salomé, who also predicted the Covid-19 pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II. On Iran, he who wrote on Instagram in 2022: "It doesn’t matter about the lives of the famous, the Instagram stamp or the bio on Wikipedia. I don’t care about the money in my account or the gifts that come to me.

"I care about the lives lost and the world pretending not to see the suffering of the people who are forced to worship the Islamic laws, endure the psychological torture and the absurdities of 'Islam' which are supposedly based on the words of 'God' revealed to the prophet Mohammed.

"It is unacceptable the massacre of the judged people who lose their lives all the time for simply fighting to be who they are and survive a chauvinist, archaic and baseless dictatorship.

"Don’t you see thousands of deaths, people being accused of all kinds of crimes and sentenced to death? It will fall apart within 6 years, most of the nation will take matters into their own hands!

"This is not a religious criticism nor is it a disrespect to the culture of Iran. My protest refers to the innocent people killed by human cruelty. To these suffering people, I am with you."

His image was plastered all over the country while state television reported his every move. His death is the start of an uncertain future for Iran and the wider region.
