TB Joshua's prophecy on Iran-Israel war

In the video, the late T.B. Joshua predicted that Israel and Iran would clash at some point, which would lead to a Third World War because big countries would take sides.

According to the late Joshua, the war should be prevented at all costs because what had happened in the past was an atom, but the war would be an element.
