Iranian women are so hot they need to cover up. Because, you know, it triggers global warming...or something and rivers go dry.

This is what local Islamic cleric Seyyed Youssef Tabatabi-nejad warned, asking Iran's ''morality police""to address ‘improper veiling’ and preference for Western wear

“My office has received photos of women next to the dry Zayandeh-rud River pictured as if they are in Europe. It is these sorts of acts that cause the river to dry up even further,” ISNA News Agency reported.

“I tell the Communications Ministry to clamp down on the instigators of the networks encouraging immodesty. If you don’t do so, then you will have failed to carry out your duty. The Communications Ministry can discover and suffocate these individuals.

Another Iranian cleric also blamed the many earthquakes the nation has faced on promiscuous women. Iranian president Ahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted in 2010 that an earthquake was scheduled to hit Tehran, urging 12 million people to relocate. Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, an Iranian cleric explained why it would happen, "Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes."

To be fair, Iranian women are stunning.
