General accuses Israel of stealing Iran's rain clouds

The Head of Iran's Civil Defense Organization Brigadier General
Gholam Ridha Jalali has accused Israel and another country he didn't
name of stealing the clouds of Iran which lead to climate change and
drought in the country (https://bit.ly/3cwOVpp).
On Monday, Iranian news agency ISNA reported Jalali, a military
commander in the Revolutionary Guards as saying that: "Iran's climate
changes are unnatural and result from foreign interference, through
their research; Iranian scientific centers have reached this conclusion."
Jalali added: "Both Israel and another country are working into
making Iranian clouds not rainy. In addition to this, they are stealing
rain and snow too."
He continued saying: "According to the studies that included
Afghanistan's highlands to the Mediterranean Sea, we see that all
the highlands that are over 2,200 meters are covered in snow but our
highlands are dry."
The statement comes after protests have exploded in southwestern
Iran, specifically in the cities of Muhammarah and Abadan, because
of the pollution and lack of water, where protesters have accused the
authorities of mismanagement and transferring there water to other
areas.
The protests witnessed violent activities as security forces
suppressed protesters and gunfire was heard, resulting in injuries
and arrests of dozens of activists. While some reports in social
media sites reported the death of a number of protesters. Iranian
Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli denied this news, stressing
that no one was killed during the protests.
It is not the first time this year that Iran has been witnessing
protests over lack of water. Several months ago, farmers in Isfahan
came out protesting the water shortage in their province.
