  The electromagnetic (e.m.) current conservation and renormalizability of QCD
are used to calculate the amplitude of energetic hadron(photon) diffraction
into several jets with large relative transverse momenta off the
nucleon(nucleus) Coulomb field. Numerical estimates of the ratio of e.m. and
strong amplitudes show that within the kinematic range where the leading twist
approximation for the strong amplitude is applicable, the e.m. contribution can
be neglected. In pA scattering at LHC and in the fragmentation of a photon into
two jets in ultraperipheral AA collisions in the black limit (which maybe
realistic at LHC) e.m. contribution may win.
