Remember when the former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed in a 2012 speech that Iran's enemies were creating droughts by destroying its rain clouds. Ahmadinijad's accusations landed him in the mainstream media's hot seat and labeled him a "Conspiracy Theorist."Newsweek, a U.S. based news magazine and website led the charge by publishing 'Five of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Weirdest Conspiracy Theories' including the conspiracy theory about "the West stealing Iran's rain":

If you can't stop their nuclear weapons program, stop their rain—at least that was the thinking behind Ahmadinejad's accusation against the West in a 2012 speech. "Today our country 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 our country and this is a war that Iran is going to overcome," he said.
