Reporter: Demetri Lceris | Outlet: Reason to Resist
Date of Recording: March 26, 2026 | Location: Jamal Abad village, near Shiraz, Iran
1. INTRODUCTION & NEW WEAPON DEPLOYMENT
On the night of March 25–26, 2026, the Israeli or American Air Force dropped a new type of munition on the village of Jamal Abad near Shiraz. The munition disperses magnetic mines over a wide area—similar to a cluster munition—designed to disable armored vehicles. However, it was deployed over a civilian village with no apparent military presence or facility.
Key Facts:- Type of Munition: Disperses 70–72 magnetic mines per projectile
- Intended Use: Designed to disable/destroy armored vehicles
- Actual Deployment: Dropped on a densely populated civilian village
- First Use in War: Iranian media report this is the first time this munition has been used by US/Israeli forces in Iran during this war
- Significance: Described as a "very significant escalation"
Activation Triggers- Can be triggered by cell phone devices (reporters instructed to put phones on airplane mode)
- May be set with timers to detonate at fixed times
- Sensitive to heat
- Rain and soil pressure may trigger detonation
Blast Radius- Shrapnel and projectiles can reach up to 40 meters
Detection Challenges- Mines may become buried underground, making them invisible
- Raining conditions increase danger as mines may be covered or triggered by pressure
- Houses and lands that are unoccupied may contain undetected mines
