“Over the past four years, the highlands from Afghanistan to the Mediterranean have been studied. The findings are that areas above 2,200 meters were full of snow but our highlands have remained dry,” Jalali, the head of Iran’s Civil Defense Organization, said.

“Joint teams from Israel and one of our neighboring countries make clouds that are entering Iran” which can’t produce rain he continued. Jalali did not specify which neighbor was aiding Israel.

“Don’t get me wrong,” he cautioned in his column. “I support the First Amendment, as much as the next person, and support the rights of grown men to wear skin tight short-shorts and go-go boots and don tinker bell wings with wand and prance down the streets of San Francisco.”
