Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki.

It's either:

A. In some obscure area of Star Trek canon.
B. An estimation, considering other events around that time [it can't be before 2024, because that was when the Bell Riots happened, and it didn't seem like there was a massive devastating war going on when Sisko went back in time to then].
C. Wrong, and every single person and moderator on Memory Alpha miraclously overlooked it.

I'd probably go for A, because 2026 seems very precise. It's probably in the Past Tense double episode, because that was set in 2024, so Sisko or Bashir might have said 'World War three starts in two years' at some point.
 
I thought part got cut off !

If one speaks of a curse related to American presidents one surely
applies to those presidents who were born in the 21st century.All
4-(Christine Thomas 2019-2071,Mark Chang 2005-2079,Rebecca Hogan
2010-2079 and Jonathan Littlehawk 2016-2079)died violent deaths as
targets of Optimum assassination.President Christine Thomas was killed
in a hover copter explosion over Paris, France on June 2,2071.It was
later determined that an Optimum bomb was responsible.Thomas'
successor President Mark Chang (D) suppressed this information as he
was aware that public knowledge of the presidents murder would lead to
a war with the ORE (Optimal Republics of Earth).The most striking
evidence of this curse occurred on April 19,2079.On that day President
Jonathan Littlehawk and former presidents Mark Chang and Rebecca Hogan
were killed in the bombing of the Powell Institute building in
suburban Washington DC(which had been partially destroyed in the
nuclear war the previous year).The 3 presidents were conferring there
with United States and New United Nations military officers and staff
about prosecuting the war with the ORE to its completion.Even more
shocking was the revelation that Vice President Tricia Brown was
instrumental in the bombing as an Optimum operative!Although the
United States government did not immediately collapse many consider
that day the death of the old United States.The later revelation of a
broad Optimum presence and sympathies in the US government and society
drastically altered the American nation.The United States along with
the New UN became the driving force for a United Earth
government(which finally arrived in 2113 and was completed by with the
membership of Australia in 2150-that nation held out all those years
in part due to long memories from its tragic role in the Eugenics Wars
and World War III).Tricia Brown was captured,tried and executed at the
International Military Tribunal trials in San Francisco CA in
2082-2083 along with 44 other major Optimum leaders including Colonel
Green.
