April 15—#Iran—Senior IRGC officials say their "scientists" invented a new remote device that uses a "magnetic field" with a "bipolar virus inside" that can detect the novel #coronavirus "within 100 meters" & has "+80% accuracy."

Let’s dig in.

2)
IRGC official claims:
-No other device like this in the world
-Completely made inside Iran
-We can even increase the speed & range, up to 500 meters
-Can detect virus from inside a moving vehicle

3)
The "expert" places the "receiver" in different positions & the "device antenna" fails to move... even once.

One lady is heard saying, "It's all propaganda!"

4)
The “expert” is Kambiz Golshani & he first claimed to have made his device in May 2018 when he said it could detect all liquids or solids at a depth of 42 kilometers.
Yes, you read it right: 42 kilometers.
And Iran’s official outlets provided coverage.

Golshani:
-This device detects all liquids/solids based on electrostatic technology & bipolar electronic fields
-nothing like it in the world
-has int’l patent
-can detect oil, mineral & water reserves at any depth of soil or water
-foreign countries don’t have this technology

6)
Left—Golshani also claimed his device can detect smuggled fuel at Iran’s borders.

Right—Another individual had already made such a claim a year earlier.

Golshani is the founder of the “Pouyan Probing Company” in Urmia, NW Iran.

Back in 2009 he claimed to have invented a “highly advanced & unprecedented” mine detector, but no one knows what happened to that “invention.”

His latest claim is the “coronavirus detector.”

8)
This “new coronavirus detector" may actually be the revival of the fake "magic wand" bomb detector from back in 2013 that caused havoc in Iraq.

9)
"The Iraqis spent £53m ($85m) on the devices at around £5,000 ($8,034) a time. Some sold for as much as £25,000 ($40,178)."

10)
Now, the regime in Iran actually has a history of quite interesting “inventions.”

11)
Get to know @azarijahromi, #Iran's Minister of Information & Communications Technology (ICT)

-He tweeted: "Astronauts' suits - Beautiful future"
-However, the "astronaut suit" can be easily purchased at $20.19 on the web
-Tore off NASA logo & replaced it with regime's flag

12)
The IRGC literally built “gyrocopters” & claimed the U.S. is concerned about Iranian units being equipped with this “weapon.”

Oct 10, 2016—One gyrocopter crashed in Iranshahr, SE Iran

Dec 1, 2016—Another crashed in Sarvan, SE Iran

There's more:

The IRGC has also "invented" a "two-man submarine."

Notice the hand signals between the crew. The "sub" has no intercom & no communication with the outside world.

And the crew cabin is literally filled with water…

14)
On April 18, 2007, an Iranian admiral literally claimed the Persian Gulf is under Iran’s full control & the image used to portray this “control” was of the two-man sub at a military parade.

15)
So, why does Iran’s regime resort to such ridiculous tactics & “inventions?”

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Tehran is under severe domestic pressure & foreign isolation. The regime needs to boost morale & maintain its very dismal social base.

These guys…
