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.

And my bullshit detector antenna identified their taqiyya from way over here.

How do you think the poor Iranians feel? Iran has no medicine or equipment to treat the patients. This fictitious machine is not going to trick many people. It’s meant to be a distraction from the mullahs’ gross incompetence, isn’t it?
Boromir's Horn says
I can smell the taqiyya on their breath
revereridesagain says
Quick, B.H., patent that thing before the IRGC tries to steal it! Better yet offer to sell it to them along with this bridge you know is for sale in Brooklyn.

Thank you, Boromir’s Horn – I needed that chuckle!

Amazing isn’t it? Now every critic will be found to carry the “virus” and suddenly become a “patient” to be “medically treated” however the IGRC decides…

So, why are all the guys in the photo wearing face masks? Couldn’t they have scanned them before the interview to check if they were infected? And if not, then no need for the masks. Clowns!

mortimer says
The use of masks by the Iranian officials shows a lack of FAITH IN ALLAH.
To wit, any soul that is to be infected will only be infected by the will of Allah alone! No mask will stop Allah!
Now, the taqiyya-meister mullahs claim they have invented a MAGIC MACHINE that uses radio waves! So highly technical!
I suppose women who don’t wear a veil ‘correctly’ will be overrepresented in those ‘detected’ by the MAGIC MACHINE.
Such shameless balderdash!
mortimer says
Major General Hossein Salami (IRGC commandant) touted this MAGICAL MACHINE as scientific. Surely, he must be ashamed to repeat such bald-faced lies.
Do the mullahs actually believe Iranians are so stupid?

“Surely, he must be ashamed to repeat such bald-faced lies.”
I am 100% certain that he lacks the ability to be ashamed…

To JL: have you heard of ‘Bonapartism’ … the tendency of ambitious army officers to create a coup d’état?
Anwar Sadat was such a subservient officer. He joined a revolution against his boss. Sadat was a senior member of the Free Officers who overthrew King Farouk in the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, and a close confidant of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, under whom he served as Vice President twice and whom he succeeded as President in 1970. I predict an Iranian army officer will eventually overthrow the mullahs.

This is Iran. Point the bloody “device” at anyone and there’s an 80% change that person has the coronavirus. And since it is the IRGC doing the pointing, if you fall within the lucky 20%, you’d better damn well agree that you have the virus.
Keys says
Good one !
Fine print on device: This device will work through 50 meter thick walls, but is non-functional inside a mosque where , Allah be praised, all are protected and cleansed.
Who says there is no “fun” in Islam ?
Oh yeah, Khomeini (sbuh).
Or Else! says
If it can’t detect its own BS at close proximity, good luck with long-range virus scanning.
Anjuli Pandavar says
What’s always intrigued me about Islamic supremacism, is how how Islam is so superior to science, yet when they want to big themselves up, “science”, “scientific” and “scientist” are always appended somewhere, such as the “Islamic sciences”, “Hadith sciences”, “scientific miracle” and now this “state-of-the-art and unique instrument that has been developed by local scientists.” Whatever happened to good-old: roll up a page of the Qur’an, look through one end through the other end you’ll see who has the virus? What about all the other amazing medical marvels a single page of the Qur’an was once capable of? “Where science ends, there the Qur’an begins,” our madrassa teacher told us.
Terry Gain says
Israel, with .02% of the world’s population has produced 28% of Nobel laureates. Islam, with only 25% of the world’s population has produced a handful, And I believe only one for actual science.
Most of the handful awarded to Muslims have been for peace. Of course every Muslim leader who has not threatened the non-Muslim world with extermination is entitled to consideration for a peace prize
Given the number of accomplishments of Jewish scientists as compared with Muslim scientists, is it any wonder that Muslims hate Jews?
Phil Copson says
“….Most of the handful awarded to Muslims have been for peace. Of course every Muslim leader who has not threatened the non-Muslim world with extermination is entitled to consideration for a peace prize….”
————————————————————————————————–
Given that the islamic definition of “peace” is “when the whole world has been subjugated” or in plain English – “War is Peace” – then there’s any number who could put their plate up for such an award..
James Lincoln says
Terry Gain says,
“Given the number of accomplishments of Jewish scientists as compared with Muslim scientists, is it any wonder that Muslims hate Jews?”
I always felt that the muslim hatred of Jews had a lot to do with subconscious jealousy.
This jealousy is “suppressed” so as not to cause severe “cognitive dissonance”.

Even this is not necessarily an impediment, Terry–just look at Yasser Arafat.
Gamzu says
For the record, it’s not Israel, but Jews in general (mostly non-Israelis) who have won this many Nobel prizes. And Jews constitute 0.2% percent of the world’s population, not ,02%, but point well taken.

Gamzu, there are about 7.8 billion people in the world, and about 14 million Jews.
mortimer says
Agree with AP. They disagree with science, but appropriate the window-dressing of science to ‘prove’ Islam. Boneheads!
Why not put the Koran on a pole, like a dowsing rod, and wherever it points, that’s a coronavirus carrier?
Terry Gain says
Praise Allah. 100 m. Wow. It’s even more impressive when expressed in yards 109.3613 yards. As Phil Rizzuto and Harry Caray used to say Holy Cow (no offence to my Hindu friends).
It’s enough to cause one to convert and submit and submit and convert.
I’m going to need Mortimer to talk me out of this.

It adds even more credibility to the BS to stay in the metric system and use big numbers like 100,000 Millimeters.

I’m waiting for the peer review of their amazing machine.

video – MEMRI TV – IRGC Commander-in-Chief Presents New Technology, Claims It Uses Magnetic Fields to Detect the Chinese virus
On April 15, 2020, IRINN TV (Iran) aired a report about a new technology for the detection of COVID-19 that Iran claims to have developed. IRGC Commander-in-Chief General Hossein Salami presented a device with an antenna and said that the technology creates a magnetic field and, by means of a “bipolar virus” that is “installed” in the machine, can detect any area that is infected by coronavirus from as far as 100 meters away within five seconds.
He claimed that this technology can also be used to diagnose patients and that it has an accuracy rate of 80%.
In May 2017, the Iranian news agency, IRNA, aired a report about an identical-looking device that was purported to be able to detect between 1 liter and 1000 liters of fuel, also using magnetic fields and “bi-polar” technology. The device was meant to help Iranian authorities to combat fuel smuggling.

Iran: Medical gear outranks missiles in Army Day parade amid the Chinese virus crisis
Iran flaunted disinfection vehicles, medical equipment and mobile hospitals during the Army Day parade which usually features missiles and armoured vehicles, in Tehran on Friday.
The “Defenders of the Homeland, Helpers of Health” parade aimed to applaud the work of the military and healthcare workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit Iran especially hard.
Unlike a typical Iranian Army Day parade, known for their parading of missiles, submarines, armoured vehicles and large crowds, Friday’s parade featured soldiers in hazmat suits and tributes to doctors and nurses fighting on the frontline of the battle against coronavirus.
The event was attended by only a select few. Senior military officials and the armed forces were seen, while the public was not in attendance.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces are like an iron shield against enemies and they will be a compassionate brother for people,” announced Iranian army Commander-in-Chief Abdolrahim Mousavi during a speech at the parade.
National Army Day was added to the Iranian calendar after a letter from the founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini back in 1979. In the letter he ordered the army to hold huge parades nationwide on this week every year to showcase their strength to the rest of the world.

So this new coronavirus detector can identify infected people 100 meters away – 328 feet!
Little did I know that the Iranian scientists were so advanced.
I found out through “anonymous sources” that they use the following book to develop this device:
