A viral geopolitical prediction has sparked global debate after Professor Jiang claimed that the United States could face defeat in the ongoing conflict against Iran. The analyst, known for using game theory-based historical modeling, made the statement during a recent interview discussing future international power dynamics.
Professor Jiang specializes in analyzing past and present geopolitical events to forecast potential global outcomes. According to him, the current US-Iran military confrontation may become a turning point in world history, potentially ending the long-standing unipolar global order dominated by the United States since the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Previous Predictions and Current Conflict Trends
The analyst highlighted three major predictions made in 2024. These included:
- Donald Trump winning the US presidential election
- US launching military confrontation with Iran
- Potential US defeat in the conflict
He claims the first two predictions have largely materialized as tensions between the United States and Iran continue through military and strategic engagements.

Long War Strategy and Asymmetric Warfare
Professor Jiang argued that Iran has been preparing for a prolonged conflict for nearly two years. He described the confrontation as being framed in religious and ideological terms by some groups, viewing the struggle as resistance against what is sometimes called the “Great Satan” in political discourse.
The analyst also warned that Iran may attempt to disrupt global energy markets by targeting oil production infrastructure across Gulf countries.
Potential targets, according to his assessment, could include:
- Oil wells and refineries in Gulf states
- Desalination plants supplying fresh water to Middle Eastern populations
- Maritime supply routes in strategic waterways
These facilities are critical because desalination plants provide nearly 60% of freshwater supply in several Gulf nations.
Asymmetric Warfare and Global Economic Pressure
Jiang suggested that Iran might adopt asymmetric warfare strategies, extending conflict duration while applying pressure on US military logistics, supply chains, and political resolve.
If the United States faces strategic failure, he predicted significant changes in the global order. The analyst believes China and Russia could emerge stronger in a multipolar world system.
Expert View on War Predictions
Defense specialists caution that predicting war outcomes is highly uncertain. Military conflict results depend on battlefield realities, technological deployment, international diplomacy, and economic endurance.
Meanwhile, geopolitical commentator Tucker Carlson previously claimed that intelligence agencies allegedly arrested suspected Mossad agents in Gulf countries planning bomb attacks, though such claims have not been independently verified.
