SAEDNEWS: Some residents of Karaj reported that the sky turned blue tonight and that electricity was cut off following what they described as an airstrike by an attacking enemy. Residents said the unusual glow appeared in the sky shortly before the power outage occurred.
According to the political desk of Saed News, citing the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA), some residents of Karaj reported that the sky turned blue tonight and that a power outage occurred following an airstrike by an invading enemy.
This has raised the question: did the invading enemy use an electromagnetic bomb during the early Tuesday morning attack?
An electromagnetic bomb is a weapon designed to generate a powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP) capable of disabling electronic devices without directly harming people or causing significant structural damage to buildings.
To better understand this technology, it is useful to examine its main aspects:
Electromagnetic bombs are generally divided into two main types:
Nuclear EMP weapons: In this type, a nuclear explosion at high altitude produces a massive electromagnetic pulse. One well-known example is the Starfish Prime test conducted in 1962.
Non-nuclear EMP weapons: These use conventional explosives combined with specialized equipment to generate a strong electromagnetic pulse over a more limited range.
The electromagnetic pulse acts like a sudden surge that induces high voltage and intense electrical currents in conductive materials such as power lines and electronic circuits. This surge can overload and burn out sensitive electronic components, causing devices and systems to fail.
In non-nuclear designs, the device typically includes a metallic cylinder (known as an armature) filled with explosives and surrounded by a coil. When the explosives detonate, the magnetic field is rapidly compressed, producing the final electromagnetic pulse.
EMP weapons are intended to disrupt communication systems, military equipment, and electrical infrastructure within a targeted area.
One of the most effective protective measures against electromagnetic pulses is the Faraday cage—a conductive enclosure that shields electronic equipment by blocking external electromagnetic fields.
