Recent heavy rainfall across Iran, Iraq, and Turkey has led to a proliferation of conspiracy theories linking the precipitation to regional conflicts and airspace closures. Social media posts have alleged that cloud seeding aircraft, supposedly used by the U.S. and its allies, were grounded, resulting in the return of 'stolen' rains. Some claims suggest that Iran's drought ended due to the U.S.'s preoccupation with war, while others attribute Turkey's rainiest February in 66 years to closed skies preventing cloud diversion.
