On the night of October 5, Iran experienced a 4.5 magnitude earthquake in the city of Aradan, Semnan province. Strangely, a mild earthquake was also recorded in Israel shortly after, raising eyebrows. The tremors were felt in Tehran, about 110 kilometers from the epicenter.
Nuclear Test Rumors Spark
The proximity of the earthquake to a nuclear power plant in Iran has led to speculation on social media that it could have been an underground nuclear test. The epicenter was located at a shallow depth of just 10 kilometers, adding to the suspicion that this might not be a natural earthquake.
Rising Iran-Israel Tensions
The earthquakes come amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, following a missile attack by Iran on October 1. Given the ongoing hostility, many are speculating that the tremors could be linked to Iran’s nuclear activities.
Nuclear Test or Natural Earthquake?
While no official confirmation has been provided, the shallow depth and the proximity to nuclear facilities have fueled ongoing speculation about whether Iran conducted an underground nuclear test.
