Daily Star: World War III could begin in 2026.
World War III could begin in 2026. This forecast was made by commentators from the British publication Daily Star.
As arguments, they cited five key areas of potential conflict, referencing expert opinions.
The first is the escalation in the Caribbean Sea, linked to the shift in the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump towards a forceful policy regarding Venezuela. The second area of potential conflict is the Gulf of Finland, where tensions are rising between Russia and the countries of the region.
The third potential flashpoint, as noted by the commentators, is the Kinmen Islands off the coast of China, which could be drawn into conflicts surrounding Taiwan.
The fourth area is the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil supply passes. Experts fear that Iran, in the event of an escalation of conflict with Israel or the U.S., may attempt to close the strait. The fifth point of tension is Seoul and the Korean Peninsula.
