“The cause of the tremor last night in Khorramabad City was the occurrence of an earthquake with a magnitude of [2.5] on the Richter scale in this city,” Iraj Rouhi said on Tuesday.
“This earthquake occurred at a latitude of 33.462, a longitude of 48.506 and a shallow depth of eight kilometers,” he said.
He added that small earthquakes are not normally felt, but people feel them when they occur at a shallow depth.
At around 10:00 p.m. local time on Monday night, a loud noise was reported in some areas of Khorramabad along with a tremor, leading to speculations online about the cause.
Hostile media outlets, including the Times of Israel and Iran International, suggested that the incident could have been a successful operation by Israel’s Mossad spy agency, citing unreliable sources.
“Unofficial and unverified reports said the operation may have been conducted using attack drones,” The Times of Israel claimed.
