title: 2017 Iran–Iraq earthquake text: earthquake occurred near the Iran–Iraq border, approximately northeast of Baghdad. According to the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake measured 7.3 on the moment magnitude scale and was caused by movement on a thrust fault dipping at a shallow angle to the northeast. The epicentre was at a depth of , and the maximum perceived intensity was VIII ("severe shaking") on the Mercalli intensity scale. This was the strongest earthquake recorded in the region since a 6.1 M event in January 1967. The earthquake was felt throughout the Middle East and as far away as Israel, the Arabian Peninsula and title: 2005 Qeshm earthquake text: 2005 Qeshm earthquake The 2005 Qeshm earthquake occurred on November 27 at 13:52 IRST (10:22 UTC) on the sparsely populated Qeshm Island off Southern Iran, killing 13 people and devastating 13 villages. It was Iran's second major earthquake of 2005, following that at Zarand in February. The epicenter was about south of Tehran, close to Iran's southern borders. Initial measurements showed that the earthquake registered about 6.0 on the moment magnitude scale, although that was reduced to 5.8 after further analysis. More than 400 minor aftershocks followed the main quake, 36 of which were greater than magnitude 2.5.

It was felt as far away as Israel and the United Arab Emirates. With at least 630 people killed (mostly in Iraq's Kurdish Halabja area and the Iranian Kurdish dominated province of Kermanshah), and more title: 2005 Zarand earthquake text: 2005 Zarand earthquake The 2005 Zarand earthquake affected several villages in the Kerman province of Iran on February 22 at . The shock measured 6.4 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII ("Severe"). Zarand is located 740 km southeast of Tehran. The maximum recorded peak ground acceleration was 0.51 "g" at Shirinrud dam. The United States' National Earthquake Information Center and the Belgian' Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters both show that 612 died and 1,411 were injured in the event. Four villages, each having around 1,000 inhabitants, were reported completely destroyed, title: 2017 Iran–Iraq earthquake text: resources for the time being. 2017 Iran–Iraq earthquake On 12 November 2017 at 18:18 UTC (21:48 Iran Standard Time, 21:18 Arabia Standard Time), an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.3 occurred on the Iran–Iraq border, with the Iraqi Kurdish city of Halabja, and the Sunni Kurdish dominated places of Ezgeleh, Salas-e Babajani County, Kermanshah Province in Iran, closest to the epicentre, south of the city of Halabja, Iraqi Kurdistan.
