I saw what was described as a small,short lived,sandstorm in Dubai a couple of years ago.”Intimidating” doesn't begin to describe them.

As this is in Iran, it must be a Mossad Operation.

Those dust storms frequently carry small insects including scorpions and spiders. Really makes life interesting.

Then one must assume that Allah cannot or will not protect his beloveds.

We could solve the dust problem very easily. Just turn the sand into glass. Voila, no more dust problem.

You go to most of those cities and they are built on top
of older cities built on top of even older cities. I would
have to guess the the vast majority all the cities that
have ever existed there are, have been or eventually will
be buried. So whats new?

Allah, or Baal, the more feeble younger “brother” to Jahweh, lost the argument, and this was the judgment of the Universe.

Those who believe in Allah shall be subjected to a number of plagues, including dust storms that involve whole nations.

But first they shall be driven mad.

Turning all their sand into glass would create a nice big dusty radiation cloud. No harm in that IMHO.

Yes. You’ll stop having sand storms and start having shard storms.

Grit-filled machines grind to a halt

Yet the centrifuges continue to spin!

No wonder the Iranians aren’t interested in solar power, though they claim they need to provide more energy to their population.
