French astronomer Nostradamus prove to be wrong? This question looms large after his prophecy about the World War 3 has not come true so far. According to the 'Wion', Nostradamus predicted something which may be interpreted as the beginning of World War 3. He expected a “combat and naval battle” between China and the US, though he did not take their names. The 16th-century philosopher and physicist predicted that the “Red adversary will become pale with fear. Putting the great Ocean in dread”. These lines are interpreted as the blockade of China by the US Navy and a confrontation between the two rival forces. This prediction is especially significant because Beijing and Washington have indulged in blaming each other for rising tension on the issue of Taiwan. Some of the US lawmakers have openly threatened China with attacks and war if Beijing threatens Taipei.

Washington on Sunday to discuss the next phase of the Gaza war and escalating hostilities on the border with Lebanon, where exchanges of fire with Hezbollah have stoked fears of wider conflict. Iran-backed Hezbollah began attacking Israel shortly after Hamas' Oct. 7 assault sparked the war in Gaza, and the sides have been trading blows in the months since then. Hezbollah has said it will not stop until there is a ceasefire in Gaza. «We are prepared for any action that may be required in Gaza, Lebanon, and in more areas,» Gallant said in a statement before setting off to Washington, where he said he would meet his counterpart Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday that there had been a «dramatic drop» in U.S. weapons deliveries for Israel's war effort in Gaza, doubling down on a claim that the Biden administration has denied and underscoring the growing strains between the two allies. Netanyahu told his Cabinet that the drop had occurred four months ago, without specifying which weapons, saying only that «certain items arrived sporadically but the munitions at large remained behind.» The spat highlights how high tensions have surged between Israel and Washington over the war in Gaza, particularly surrounding the Israeli military's conduct in the beleaguered territory and the harm to civilian life there. President Joe Biden has delayed delivering certain heavy bombs since May over those concerns, but his administration fought back last week against Netanyahu's charges that other shipments had also been affected.
