I was reading a news article on CNN which dates back to 2012 regarding Hurricane Sandy which was the second-costliest hurricane in United States history. The article states:
Hours after Super-storm Sandy howled its way through the East Coast, unleashing a fatal trail of destruction, global reactions included outpouring of sympathy and support. In Syria however, pro-government supporters welcomed the super-storm, claiming the natural disaster is the result of high-tech secret Iranian engineering.

Pro-government group “News Network” of the Syrian Armed Forces stated on a Facebook posting:
“Sources confirmed to us that Hurricane Sandy that is slamming the U.S. was set off by highly advanced technologies developed by the heroic Iranian regime that supports the resistance, with coordination of our resistive Syrian regime,” “This is the punishment for whoever dares to attack Syria’s (Bashar) al-Assad and threaten peace and stability.”
Comments accompanying the post, which had more than 300 likes, ranged from derision to support.'
It makes me wonder, are there technologies available today that could be used to steer hurricanes or cyclones?
