Raise a glass and say Lechaim

Iran is reportedly experiencing a severe water shortage due to drought conditions (ie no rain) and soaring temperatures (temperatures have reached as high as 122F in some parts of the country this summer). The capital city Tehran is also running out of water. They are worried they are soon going to hit what they call "Day Zero" where they have no water left. They have been declaring national holidays as a way of keeping people from going to work so they can stay at home out of the heat and thereby also reduce the need for energy and water.

If only they had decent relations with a nearby country that has developed technology to minimize water waste in agriculture, to produce water out of the air, to desalinate water, and all sorts of other potential solutions... they could do a lot of to minimize the problems and solve some of their shortages...

But no.... instead of living like normal decent people looking to have good decent relations with other people and have cooperation on similar problems and working together to find solutions, they prefer instead to blame Israel for their water shortages. 

And mind you, they are not blaming Israel because Israel destroyed their dams in the recent war - they didn't. They aren't blaming Israel for destroying their oil fields, because Israel didn't.  They are not blaming Israel for destroying their pumping systems and aquifers and whatnot - Israel didn't.

They are blaming Israel for manipulating the weather patterns to steal Iranian clouds so it would not rain in Iran. 

I am checking the minutes of our latest Elders of Zion meeting to see if we used our space lasers or who was put in charge of controlling the weather over Iran recently. Maybe they deserve a raise.

And if it was us, that's pretty impressive. Maybe another reason you dont want to be our enemy. It can't be impossible, considering what the Mossad has accomplished over the past couple of years...

I guess you are on your own buddy. Raise a glass and say Lechaim!
