Earthquake tremors were felt this afternoon in Iran amid US-Israeli attacks and war. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), an earthquake of 4.3 magnitude occurred in the Gerash area of southern Iran. The epicenter of the earthquake was about 10 kilometers below the ground. In some reports the intensity is said to be up to 4.5, but the official information from USGS is 4.3.
Panic spread due to earthquake amid missile attacks
These shocks were felt in Persia province, where people were already under tension due to the war. When this earthquake occurred amidst explosions and bombings, a lot of panic spread among the people. Many people came out of their homes, some shared videos on social media. There has been no report of any major damage, death or injuries so far. USGS said that this area is already a seismically active zone, so this seems to be natural tectonic activity.
Questions raised about nuclear test on social media
Rumors are spreading on social media whether this is Iran’s nuclear test? Because Iran’s nuclear sites are being attacked during the war. But experts and USGS made it clear that an earthquake of 4.3 magnitude is not like a nuclear test. Tests usually have more intensity and different patterns. This area is known for earthquakes in Iran, where many small tremors occur every year.
Double attack of America and nature on Iran
This incident has come at a time when US-Israel airstrikes are continuing in Tehran. Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz and drone-missile attacks are taking place in Gulf countries. The total number of deaths has crossed 1200. Oil prices are above $150 per barrel. No major impact is visible right now, but this combination of war and natural disaster can make the situation worse.
