Iran parades 'coronavirus radar' that looks like fake bomb detector

Iran paraded a device this week which it claims can detect coronavirus cases from 100 yards away - but the contraption looks remarkably similar to a fake bomb detection gadget once flogged by a British fraudster. 

Iranian Revolutionary Guard chief Hossein Salami boasted that 'local scientists' had invented the 'state-of-the-art' device to detect virus cases 'remotely' without the need for a blood test. 

How this would work is unclear, but Iranian media claimed the device had an '80 per cent accuracy' rate and could eventually be adapted to 'detect all kinds of viruses'.

The gadget has quickly drawn comparisons to the fake bomb detectors sold by James McCormick, a British conman who made £20million from his racket before he was eventually jailed in 2013.  

Iranian officials wearing masks hold up the contraption with a long antenna, http://littleworldgifts.jaiblogs.com/18706198/can-baby-sleep-in-play-yard claiming it can detect coronavirus cases from a distance without the need for a blood test 

This was one of the fake 'bomb detector' gadgets sold by British conman James McCormick, who made more than £20million from his scam before he was jailed in 2013 

Iran was an early breeding ground for the virus and was blamed for exporting the virus across the Middle East because of the regime's inaction. 

But the semi-official Tasnim news agency said the 'homegrown' detection device was a 'state-of-the-art and unique instrument' developed by 'local scientists'. 

Major-general Salami attended an 'unveiling ceremony' himself where he said the device could be used for 'screening of people on a large scale'.

Salami said the device creates a 'magnetic field' which locates a virus infection 'within a 100-metre radius' (100 yards), the commander said. 

When the device's antenna is pointed at a specific location, it will detect the contaminated spot within around five seconds, he boasted. 

The device has supposedly been tested in hospitals with '80 per cent accuracy' and Iran hopes to develop 'upgraded versions' to test for other diseases. 

Salami later went further and claimed 'dozens of countries' had contacted Iran with a view to getting hold of the gadget. 

However, the equipment 'would not be shared with the Americans until all sanctions are removed', he warned, according to the website Al-Monitor.
