Iran sits on several major fault systems and has a long history of devastating earthquakes. The 2003 Bam earthquake (M6.6) destroyed the ancient citadel and killed 26,000 people. Major faults include Main Recent Fault, Zagros Fold Belt, Alborz fault system. Notable quakes include 2003 Bam (M6.6), 1990 Manjil (M7.4), 2017 Kermanshah (M7.3). The seismic risk is high. Tectonically, Iran lies on arabian plate colliding with eurasian plate. This page provides realβtime USGS data and historical context for Iran.

The region is defined by Main Recent Fault, Zagros Fold Belt, Alborz fault system, and the risk level is classified as High. With a population of 85 million, understanding local seismic hazards is crucial.
Iran lies on Arabian Plate colliding with Eurasian Plate. The movement of these plates builds up stress, which is released as earthquakes. In subduction zones, one plate dives beneath another, generating some of the largest quakes on Earth. In some regions, strikeβslip faults produce frequent moderate earthquakes.

The strongest recorded earthquake in Iran was the 1990 Manjil earthquake (M7.4). 1990 Manjil (M7.4)
Iran experiences approximately 200-500 earthquakes per year, with 20-50 felt (M3.0+) and 2-5 potentially damaging events (M5.0+) annually, according to USGS historical data.
The most recent major earthquake in Iran was the 2017 Kermanshah earthquake (M7.3). 2017 Kermanshah (M7.3)
Yes. Iran is crossed by Main Recent Fault, Zagros Fold Belt, Alborz fault system, making it prone to seismic activity. The seismic risk level is classified as High.
Drop, cover, and hold on. Stay away from windows, and if outdoors, move to an open area. After the shaking stops, check for injuries and be ready for aftershocks. Prepare an emergency kit with water, food, first aid, and a flashlight.
