Mystery tremor in Iran sparks nuclear test speculation
A seismic event in Iran’s Semnan province on Saturday has fueled speculation about whether it was an earthquake or a covert nuclear test.
The 4.6-magnitude quake occurred near the city of Aradan at a shallow depth of approximately six miles.
Its proximity to suspected nuclear facilities has prompted speculation.
Social media platforms, especially X, were flooded with theories linking the tremor to Iran’s nuclear activities, amid Israel’s ongoing assault on Palestine and Lebanon.
While some argued the quake might signal a nuclear test, experts remain cautious.
Iran lies on active fault lines, and experts say there has been no evidence, such as radioactive fallout, to confirm a nuclear explosion.
With no official statements from Iranian authorities and no immediate international response, the cause remains uncertain.
