"Wow, Iran bombed the 'Cloud-Seeding' radars in the UAE and suddenly the temperature shifted by 5 degrees in Tehran (unheard of) and it now it's raining and snowing," an X user wrotein a post viewed 3.4 million times, along with a video of a mosque covered in snow.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact Check: False There are several issues with this claim — there's no evidence this research center was attacked in the first place, and scientists told DW this is a complete misrepresentation of how cloud seeding technology works.

DW says there is no evidence the UAE research center was attacked and that the claim misrepresents cloud seeding. The review notes that the snow video shows the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, where April snow is not uncommon, rather than Tehran.
