Baba Vanga prediction for World War 3: US-Israel-Iran, Pakistan-Afghanistan, Russia-Ukraine -- how close are we to World War III?
Baba Vanga predictions for 2026: The current scenario has not escalated into World War 3 like situation but there are geo-political conflicts which must be checked at the earliest.

Supporters of Baba Vanga insist that she foresaw a devastating conflict unfolding in the mid-2020s, one that would fundamentally reshape global power structures and alter long-established alliances. They claim her visions pointed to a period of mounting instability, during which diplomatic tensions would spiral into a large-scale confrontation with far-reaching political and economic consequences.
According to believers, these insights came to her through powerful dreams and trance-like experiences that revealed fragments of the future in symbolic form. Admirers argue that although her messages were often cryptic, their themes of upheaval and transformation resonate strongly with present-day uncertainties. However, scholars and investigators emphasize that she left behind no formal written documentation of her prophecies.
The current scenario has not escalated into World War 3 like situation but there are geo-political conflicts which must be checked at the earliest.
US-Israel-Iran Attack
The United States and Israel launched an attack Saturday on Iran, with the first apparent strike happening near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian media reported strikes nationwide, and smoke could be seen rising from the capital.
President Donald Trump said in a video posted on social media that the U.S. had begun “major combat operations in Iran.” He claimed Iran has continued to develop its nuclear program and plans to develop missiles to reach U.S.
Russia Criticizes USA
Russia on Saturday criticised U.S. President Donald Trump and Israel for embarking on a dangerously irresponsible attack on Iran which Moscow said was plunging the entire Middle East into the abyss.
"Washington and Tel Aviv have once again embarked on a dangerous adventure that is rapidly bringing the region closer to a humanitarian, economic, and possibly radiological catastrophe," Russia's foreign ministry said.
"By plunging the Middle East into an abyss of uncontrolled escalation, they are actually encouraging countries around the world, primarily in the region, to acquire more and more serious means against emerging threats," Russia's foreign ministry stated.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's powerful Security Council, chided U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday for the attack on Iran and questioned Washington's staying power given the relatively short history of the United States compared to that of Persia's civilisation.
"The peacekeeper is at it again. The talks with Iran were just a cover. Everyone knew that," Medvedev, a former Russian president, said in English.
Pakistan-Afghanistan 'Open War'
Pakistan’s military, backed by artillery and air power, struck more military installations deep inside Afghanistan overnight and into early Saturday, after Pakistan said it was in “open war” with its eastern neighbor.
Pakistan claimed more than 300 Afghan forces had been killed since fighting erupted Thursday night during a broad Afghan cross-border attack into Pakistan. Afghanistan rejected the figures as false. The casualty figures provided by either side could not be independently confirmed.
The fighting was in response to Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan last Sunday. Pakistan said it was targeting the outlawed Pakistani Taliban, or TTP. The group is separate but closely allied with Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban. Afghanistan, however, said only civilians were killed in Sunday's airstrike.
After the Afghan attack, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif declared Friday: “Our patience has now run out. Now it is open war between us.”
Russia-Ukraine War
Russia's defence ministry said on Saturday its forces had taken control of the settlements of Neskuchne and Girke in Ukraine's Kharkiv and Zaporizhizhia regions.
Russian officials increasingly see little reason to continue U.S.-led peace talks with Ukraine unless Kyiv signals it is prepared to give up territory as part of a settlement, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Talks scheduled for next week will be critical to determining whether the sides can move towards an agreement to end the war, the report said.
