A 4.3-magnitude earthquake has struck the southern city of Gerash in Iran's Fars province, according to recent reports. The tremor occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers, as per the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
Despite the earthquake's magnitude, there are no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage, as per news agency ANI. This event comes at a time of heightened tensions between Iran and a coalition of United States and Israeli forces, with military strikes and retaliatory attacks occurring across the Middle East.
Gerash is located within the Zagros seismic belt, a highly active tectonic region where the Arabian and Eurasian plates are in constant collision. This region is prone to earthquakes due to the movement and stress along major faults.
This story is still developing, and further details are expected. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
