Whenever the subject of prophecy surfaces, the name of Nostradamus inevitably finds mention. In recent years, however, a British predictor has drawn similar attention, earning the monikers “the new Nostradamus” and the “Prophet of Doom”.

Craig Hamilton-Parker, who claims to have accurately foreseen the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the outbreak of the global coronavirus pandemic, has now issued a fresh set of predictions for 2026. His latest five forecasts have sparked debate and unease across social media platforms and international forums alike.

Hamilton-Parker has warned that 2026 could usher in a period of profound global instability. Drawing on what he describes as ancient Indian “Nadi Astrology”, he claims that turbulent political and geopolitical developments are on the horizon.

His most striking prediction centres on US politics and the future of Donald Trump. According to Hamilton-Parker, escalating global conflicts or even war could disrupt the United States’ electoral process around 2026. He suggests that under such extraordinary circumstances, Trump might invoke emergency powers in an attempt to extend his presidency into a third term. The predictor further warns that heightened tensions between China and Taiwan, or a potential Russia-China alliance, could trigger a large-scale conflict involving the United States, fundamentally reshaping global power equations.

Turning to East Asia, Hamilton-Parker has issued a stark warning for Japan. He claims that in August 2026, a mysterious and destructive “cloud of gas” could blanket northern parts of the country, with repercussions severe enough to affect the entire nation. He has speculated that the event may not be natural in origin, hinting instead at the possibility of a clandestine attack, potentially involving the triggering of volcanic activity through explosive means.

His third prediction concerns Iran. Hamilton-Parker foresees what he describes as a precise and forceful strike on Iranian nuclear facilities in March 2026, aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear capabilities. Referring cryptically to “red and yellow flags” and the symbol of a lion over Iran, he claims that certain signs are already aligning with his visions. At the same time, he has expressed hope that any upheaval could ultimately pave the way for a more democratic future for the Iranian people, particularly in advancing women’s rights.

Technology and the global economy also feature prominently in his warnings. Hamilton-Parker predicts a massive cyberattack in 2026, one capable of severely disrupting international financial markets, cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence-driven systems. He has advised individuals and businesses to back up critical data and avoid relying solely on cloud storage. He further cautions that gold prices could witness extreme volatility amid the turmoil.

Finally, Hamilton-Parker has forecast structural changes in global institutions. He suggests that by 2026, organisations such as NATO may begin to weaken as geopolitical rivalries intensify and competition for resources sharpens. He also claims that the United States could seek stronger economic control over Greenland’s natural resources. Looking further ahead, he predicts that by 2030 a new international peacekeeping body could emerge, potentially replacing the United Nations.
