In a speech in the village Gonbad-e Kavus at Caspian Sea to mark its registration as a Unesco World Heritage site, president Ahmadinejad accused the West of purposely destroying the rainclouds headed for Iran.
He said that Iran is moving towards drought, which is partly unintentional due to industry and partly intentional, as a result of the enemy destroying the clouds moving towards the country and this is a war that Iran is going to overcome.
Although Iran is recognized as having one of the world's driest climates, the comments were the latest in a series of bizarre allegations of a Western conspiracy to turn the shortage into a major crisis.
