Electromagnetic Weapons and the Control of Political Leaders
The claim that intelligence services build and deploy electromagnetic and directed-energy weapons to influence, incapacitate, or "steer" political leaders — including the U.S. president. This page documents a June 2026 Israeli Channel 14 broadcast in which mentalist Uri Geller asserted that Iran had used a low-frequency electromagnetic weapon on President Donald Trump's brain, places that claim against the documented history of state directed-energy research, and weighs the heavy skepticism the specific claim has drawn.

| Type | Theory / Claimed Intelligence Capability |
| Surfaced By | Israeli Channel 14 broadcast featuring Uri Geller, June 2026 |
| Key Claim | Intelligence services can remotely alter a political leader's decisions using low-frequency electromagnetic / directed-energy weapons |
| Specific Allegation | That Iran used such a weapon to turn Trump against Israel |
| Evidence Rating | SPECULATIVE (this specific Trump claim) over a backdrop of WELL-DOCUMENTED state directed-energy research |
Overview
This topic has two distinct layers that must be kept separate.
The narrow claim — that Iran (or any state) has injected electromagnetic waves into Donald Trump's brain to change his foreign policy — surfaced on Israel's right-leaning, Netanyahu-aligned Channel 14 in June 2026 and is disputed by fact-checkers as false. Physicists who reviewed the claim say remotely directing specific thoughts into a person's brain at a distance would require unrealistic power and precision and would have to overcome the brain's natural shielding against external fields. No U.S., Israeli, or independent source has produced evidence that any country used such a device on Trump.
The broad claim — that intelligence services have spent decades researching electromagnetic and directed-energy effects on the human brain and body, including for the purpose of influencing or incapacitating people — is, by contrast, supported by declassified programs and ongoing government investigations (the Cold War "Moscow Signal," the CIA's Project Pandora, MKUltra's bioelectric subprojects, and the still-unexplained "Havana Syndrome" anomalous health incidents affecting U.S. diplomats and officials). The interest of this investigation is not in validating the sensational Iran-Trump version but in documenting how a real, well-funded line of state research becomes the raw material for both genuine concern and propaganda.
The June 2026 Channel 14 Broadcast
According to the segment circulated by the Stew Peters Network on June 25, 2026, Israel's Channel 14 brought on the Israeli mentalist Uri Geller, who claimed Iran had used a "low frequency electromagnetic weapon to penetrate Donald Trump's brain and turn him against Israel." Reporting and fact-checks tie the broadcast to Israeli-hardliner frustration with Trump's June 2026 shift from confrontation toward diplomacy with Iran.
In the clip, Geller is quoted stating (English overlay translation):
"Not exactly telepathic powers but electromagnetic powers. The Russians have it, the Koreans have it and the Iranians have it. I know it sounds like I took it from some science fiction movie but it's real. It's operational now... in my opinion they've injected these waves into his brain."
"It's very easy even from the embassy in Washington... They can fire this weapon from the embassy in Washington."
Asked whether he could counter it, Geller reportedly replied that he had been asked to "rebalance" Trump and was "actively working on it," predicting "a very significant change in Donald Trump very soon," and at one point linked the matter to "international finances and Qatar" and to the Boeing 747 reportedly offered to Trump as a gift.

Why an "Israeli Mentalist" Is Relevant to the Intelligence Angle
The reason this clip is noted in a deep-state context is the speaker himself. Uri Geller is not merely an entertainer: declassified CIA documents confirm he was tested for eight days in 1973 at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) by physicists Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ under U.S.-government-funded parapsychology research that became part of the Stargate Project — the long-running intelligence program investigating remote viewing and whether psychic or perceptual phenomena could be weaponized. The CIA released roughly 18,000 pages referencing Geller in 2017.
Geller has himself stated in interviews and a 2013 BBC documentary that he worked for the CIA and for Israel's Mossad, and he is a longtime personal acquaintance of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mossad has neither confirmed nor denied the relationship, and his self-reported intelligence claims lack independent corroboration. Regardless of how one rates his abilities, a figure with documented ties to state intelligence research publicly asserting on national television that brain-targeting electromagnetic weapons are "operational now" is itself a data point about how such narratives circulate.
The Staged-Conflict Framing
The Stew Peters Network presents the broadcast not as a sincere warning but as "hasbara propaganda" — arguing that the visible Trump–Netanyahu falling-out is a "screen production," and that the electromagnetic-weapon story is a face-saving device to explain why a U.S. president would move away from Israeli hardline preferences without conceding genuine policy disagreement. This framing fits a recurring pattern documented across this investigation, in which media narratives are managed to shape public perception of elite conflicts. The framing is presented here as the source's interpretation, not as established fact.
The Documented Backdrop: State Directed-Energy Research
The sensational version sits on top of a real research lineage that this investigation treats as well-documented:
- The "Moscow Signal" (1953–1976) — The Soviet Union beamed low-level microwaves at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow for over two decades, prompting the CIA's classified Project Pandora to study the bioeffects of microwave radiation on the brain and behavior.
- MKUltra bioelectric subprojects — Among the CIA's MKUltra behavioral-control efforts were studies of radio-frequency and electromagnetic effects on the nervous system.
- "Havana Syndrome" (2016–present) — Dozens of U.S. diplomats, intelligence officers, and officials have reported anomalous health incidents that several U.S. assessments have linked to a possible directed-energy source; the cause remains officially unresolved and contested across the intelligence community.
These programs establish that states have, in fact, invested in electromagnetic effects on the human brain. They do not establish the specific claim that Iran altered a sitting U.S. president's decisions by remote broadcast.
Counter-Arguments and Skepticism
- Physics objections — Independent experts cited in fact-checks state that remotely inducing specific decisions in a target's brain from a distance is not supported by known science; the energy and precision required are far beyond demonstrated capability, and the skull and brain resist external low-frequency fields.
- No evidence — No government, agency, or independent investigator has produced evidence that Iran or any other state used such a weapon on Trump.
- Motive and source — The claim originated on a partisan outlet aligned with figures unhappy about Trump's diplomatic turn, and was voiced by a single individual making unverifiable assertions, which fact-checkers say should weigh heavily against it.
- Alternative explanation — Ordinary political and strategic disagreement is a simpler explanation for a shift in a leader's posture than a science-fiction weapon.
