An earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale struck Aradan city in Semnan province, Iran, on October 5, 2024. Occurring just after 10:45 PM local time, its shallow depth of 10 kilometers has led to speculation regarding a possible underground nuclear test by Iran. The tremors were felt as far as 110 kilometers away in Tehran. Shortly after, a low-intensity earthquake was reported in Israel, intensifying discussions linking both seismic events to Iran's nuclear ambitions. This speculation arises amid rising tensions following recent military confrontations between Iran and Israel, including missile attacks from Iran.
