Characteristic of Iran is its hyperbolic ranting and deception as it continues its Islamic supremacist threats and exaggerations. When the coronavirus pandemic first started, the Ayatollah Khamenei denied the impact of the disease on his people and declared a “health jihad” against it. Then came news that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was performing military “health jihad” exercises against the virus. Now comes still another new development: “Iran unveiled a special magnetic coronavirus detector Wednesday it claimed can remotely identify infected people and contaminated areas within a range of 100 meters. Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Commander Major General Hossein Salami said the unique device is so advanced it obviates the need for blood tests and delivers a result in just five seconds.”
This device is no doubt promising only in the eyes of those who signed the Iran nuclear deal based on their belief in Iran’s honesty, and of the mullahs themselves, who are hoping to distract their increasingly restive population.
“IRGC Unveils Coronavirus Remote Detector,” Tasnim News Agency, April 15, 2020:
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) unveiled an advanced device that can remotely detect people infected with the novel coronavirus and also the contaminated areas within a range of 100 meters.
In comments at the unveiling ceremony on Wednesday, IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami said the homegrown device is a state-of-the-art and unique instrument that has been developed by local scientists after the outbreak of COVID-19.
By creating a magnetic field, the device is able to detect every coronavirus infection case within a 100-meter radius in the surrounding area, the commander said.
When the device’s antenna is pointed at a specific location, it will detect the contaminated spot within around 5 seconds, the general explained.
Major General Salami said one of the great advantages of the homegrown device is that the coronavirus diagnosis does not require a blood test anymore, since the smart detector can remotely identify those infected with COVID-19.
The device is also used for smart and targeted disinfection operations, as it obviates the need for sanitizing the surfaces that are not contaminated, the general stated, noting that it would be also utilized for screening of people on a large scale.
The results of the tests in hospitals show that the device has an 80 percent accuracy and the upgraded versions will hopefully be able to detect all kinds of viruses.
