A 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck Aradan, Iran, with tremors felt in eastern Tehran. Speculations arose on social media about a potential underground nuclear test by the Tehran regime, amid threats from officials regarding military doctrine changes. The NorNews website dismissed these claims as rumors. A 2019 report suggested Iran might be developing underground nuclear testing sites, raising concerns about the earthquake's connection to nuclear activities. Despite these speculations, Iran has a history of earthquakes, making such tremors not unusual.
