I would be fairly confident that Ahmadinejad is not making wild assertions here - Iran is a sophisticated and technologically advanced nation - they certainly have the tech to detect this kind of interference.
Then how come there is no proof of anything? This is the second (Third?) time he makes this kind of accusation with nothing to back his words up.
Just admit it. You guys are cheering over this ONLY because it is coming from the mouth of Ahmedinnejad. If these claims were to come from the Israeli government, all the people who cheered at the possibility of this being true would long ago dismiss it as crazy talk.

The fact that western powers (including Israel) are the ones trying to foment a war with Iran, and they are probably the only ones who may have this kind of technology and hardware - it would make very little sense if this were reversed - and it was Israel making the claims. It is basically not plausible that any nation not aligned with the US has the hardware to effect the weather - if they did, it would already have been destroyed, unless that nation had hundreds or thousands of nukes. So China or Russia might have this sort of technology - but its unlikely they would use it against Israel - because it can likely be detected and would probably incite a counter attack in some form from the western controllers.

The proof is the science journal publication in 2011 where the Chinese scientists published how they figured out what microwave frequency/pulse rate will dissipate clouds so their spy satellites can see what's on the ground.
The Chinese didn't come up with that on their own. They just detected what others were doing, and now they have that capability too.
Look up what they published. There is no scientist from any country debunking what they published. What we have seen is since the Chinese figured that out.....we've seen our microwave transmission capability multiplied by 4 times....in just the last 12 months. So we can overcome their transmissions with our transmissions.

But of course there's no Rain in Iran.
How can there be, with a sky looking like that?
1. This is not the first time that Ahmedinejad is blaming the west for stealing his rain while he didn't present a shred of evidence. But, apparently, that does not stop his horde of followers from cheering for him and instead of realizing how idiotic it is, his crowd of followers try to link his sayings to reality via silly unfounded conspiracies.
During the summit meeting in Moscow in July 1974, President Nixon and General Secretary Brezhnev formally agreed to hold bilateral discussions on how to bring about "the most effective measures possible to overcome the dangers of the use of environmental modification techniques for military purposes." Three sets of discussions were held in 1974 and 1975, resulting in agreement on a common approach and common language.
