Tullius dosen't actually say the war is coming soon. Just because another war is coming up doesn't even mean it could be in his lifetime. There is a lot of Iron and Steel in Skyrim. Not in the Isles. So it's probably the other way around. They could also get help from other Provinces that hate the Dominion. Hammerfell & Morrowind. As well as maybe High Rock.
