I’m seeing more Iranian taxi drivers telling me Iran is having more rainfall after Iranian attacks on the Persian Gulf Arab countries.
I don’t know if it’s a conspiracy or if there’s some logic behind it, but it’s been raining (& thundering) a lot lately.

Very interesting 🤔
My mother has told me similiar things. A lot of people in Iran are apparently saying that the gulf Arab countries and US were somehow preventing rain because Iran has been in a drought for a few years now.
Personally I've not seen any evidence for this beyond what could be a mere coincidence. Though if someone more adept in the fields of meteorology and climatology could way in on it, that would be much appreciated. Personally I just assume it's climate change and extreme weather conditions.
I know cloud seeding is a thing; it would be curious to know if they can induce drought that way too.
Cloud seeding is relatively straightforward. Just put some dust in the air at the right altitudes. It's why you'll often see it rain after a firework show. Or presumably a few days of missile launches.
If there's one thing I hate about having my eyes opened to how untrustworthy anything in western media is, it's that I can no longer read shit like this and dismiss it as a conspiracy theory.
