Is US preparing 60,000-troop invasion of Iran? Viral Chinese professor makes explosive claim

The tension between the United States and Iran has once again flared marked by recent retaliatory strikes, putting the interim peace deal between two countries at jeopardy.

However, a sense of normalcy has begun to prevail with the upcoming talks between Washington and Tehran in Doha. In the midst of such geopolitical uncertainty comes the explosive claims of viral Chinese professor Xueqin Jiang who is also called as “Chinese Nostradamus.”

Speaking at Piers Morgan show, Professor Xueqin Jiang made a bombshell prediction regarding the conflict between the US and Iran, stating, “there will be American 'boots on the ground' in Iran as early as December or next March to secure a political settlement.

Professor Jiang claimed, “I still believe that the United States will be forced to use boots on the ground in Iran. In fact you can argue that there is a lot of preparation and they still have 60,000 troops ready to go.”

He also explained despite having the memorandum of understanding between the conflicting parties, the ground invasion will still happen. The MoU is only for buying the time for Washington due to harsh scorching conditions prevailing in Tehran.

“I think we are in a waiting game right now but eventually you see the boots on the ground,” he added.

Asking about the motive to launch such a risky ground invasion, Professor Jiang answered, the US is trapped in this Middle East conflict. If President Trump withdraws from the conflict it will be a huge blow to the dominance of the US in the Middle East, giving more power and confidence to Iran.

This is not the first time professor Xueqin Jiang made such a prediction. In 2024, Jiang made a viral prediction, gaining renewed attention, as several of his forecasts appear to be unfolding.

Jiang correctly anticipated that Donald Trump would return to power in 2025 and subsequently initiate a conflict with Iran.

Now, his third prediction that the United States will ultimately lose that war has taken the internet by storm.

On his recent prediction, the netizens are showing mixed reactions. One user wrote, “Extremely unlikely but if somehow true, US casualties would be beyond 100k. Would be political, maybe even government suicide.”

Another user commented, “He is correct, I have said this for months now. America under Trump is not interested in peace with Iran. This is a war between two institutions that cannot survive together.”

The third one cautioned, "Trump's fake ‘peace deal’ is pure delay. 660k US troops Any ground war will be a disaster US can't afford.”
