Iran Shocker Update: Brave Scientist Challenges Ahmadinejad on "The West is Plotting Droughts"

On Friday, we featured President Ahmadinejad's declaration, in a speech opening a dam, that "Western countries are plotting to generate drought in some areas of the world, including Iran".

Well, it appears that Ahmadinejad is getting some unexpected resistance to his revelation. It is coming not from the evil scientists of the West, but from one of his experts.

"There is no scientific confirmation for the claim that a country makes enormous efforts and spends resources on specific technologies to destroy clouds to prevent rain in other countries,"according to University of Tehran professor Esmail Kahrom.

Ahmadinejad claimed European countries were using special equipment to prevent the rain clouds from reaching Iran, but Kahrom noted distance of 5,000 to 6,000 kilometers (3100 to 3700 miles): "In this case, from a scientific point of view, such activity is impossible."

Instead of looking at devious Western plots, Kahrom suggested that the emphasis on the current drought --- last year the rainfall in Iran was 79% less than the average since 1968 --- should be elsewhere: "To survive these dry years, it is necessary to use water sparingly, stop wastage by using modern means," said Kahrom.

So far, we have no news that Kahrom has been detained for his subversive remarks.

Iran Shocker: Ahmadinejad "The West is Plotting for Droughts"

The Press TV summary is straightforward: "President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says that Western countries are plotting to generate drought in some areas of the world, including Iran."

Of course, the President, speaking on Thursday in central Iran, had masses of scientific evidence to back up this claim, “According to reports about climate, whose authenticity has been verified, the European countries have used certain equipment to discharge clouds and prevent rain-bearing clouds from reaching regional countries such as Iran.” 

Ahmadinejad explained that Tehran would pursue the matter through its legal authorities, but he was very pessimistic about a resolution: "I believe that the war of the future will be the war over water.” 

This is not the first time that Iranian officials have discovered dastardly Western measures to unsettle Iran's climate, to the point of disaster. For years they have claimed that earthquakes have been caused by the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) of the US military and the University of Alaska. The Americans says HAARP is for reseach of the ionosphere, but Tehran knows that it is a super-weapon.

And of course, there is the super-super-weapon of Western women's chests. In April 2001, Tehran Friday Prayer Leader Kazem Seddiqi revealed to the audience, ""Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes."
