Former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate has suggested to his followers that a potential end-of-the-world situation was coming soon, adding that “the prepared will survive.”
In a post shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Tate said “I told you all to get rich fast… Iran has just attacked Israel. It begins. The elites will be fine, but the prepared will survive. Anyone else might end up hurt or enslaved. I’ll share updates for free on Telegram. Please retweet this once you join.”
Within hours, thousands of people had reposted Tate’s warning tweet.
Later, Tate added that he thinks Israel will be ready to respond to the attack.
Iran launched drones and missiles on Israel after its consulate in Syria was attacked on April 1, resulting in seven deaths, including two IRGC generals.
Tehran’s official IRNA news agency said the strike caused “heavy damage” to an air base in the Negev desert in Israel. However, the Israeli army reported only minor damage and said 99% of “threats” had been intercepted.
