Six tremors have just shaken southeastern Iran in the space of one hour including a 6.0 earthquake, a 4.9, a 4.8 and a 4.0. An earthquake swarm is currently underway. Growing seismic unrest in the region underscores the mounting seismic tension building across the entire planet- especially the Middle East. Iran’s geological faults make the country susceptible to some of the most catastrophic earthquakes in the region. A major earthquake in some of the densely populated cities could result in the largest number of deaths from a quake in the Middle East. Iran is sitting on a very active and volatile set of fault lines.
