If we look at the data for one year, a total of 2,380 earthquakes of magnitude more than 2.5 occurred in Iran between March 2025 and March 2026. Of these, the intensity of 910 earthquakes was more than 3, the intensity of 130 earthquakes was more than 4 and the intensity of 15 earthquakes was more than 5.
