Iranian state TV said at least 40 people have been killed by a major earthquake that hit near the Iran-Pakistan border on Tuesday. Pakistani officials said the quake killed at least five people near the border.
Tremors from the 7.8 magnitude quake were also felt in India and Gulf states.
“It was the biggest earthquake in Iran in 40 years,” said an Iranian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The US Geological Survey said the quake hit at 10:44 GMT at a depth of 15.2 km (9.4 miles).
People in the city of Zahedan poured into the streets when the earthquake struck, Iran’s Fars news agency reported. Many houses in rural parts of the region are made of mud brick, which can easily crumble in a quake, Fars said.
All communications in the area have been cut, the Iranian Red Crescent’s Mahmoud Mozaffar told state television. Rescue teams have been dispatched to the affected area, he said.
“In the aftermath of this earthquake five evaluation teams from the Khash and Saravan branches were sent to the area to assess damage,” Mozaffar said.
The epicenter was in southeast Iran in an area of mountains and desert, 201 km (125 miles) southeast of Zahedan and 250 km northwest of Turbat in Pakistan, USGS said.
Fars reported that the Iranian city of Saravan, which lies near the center of the earthquake, has not seen serious damage.
On April 9, a powerful 6.3 magnitude quake struck close to Iran’s only nuclear power station, killing 37 people, injuring 850 and devastating two villages.
Most of Iran’s nuclear-related facilities are located in central Iran or its west, including the Bushehr nuclear power plant on the Gulf coast. A US Institute for Science and International Security map did not show any nuclear-linked facilities in southeastern Iran close to Pakistan.
Ira sits on major geological faultlines and has suffered several devastating earthquakes, including a 6.6 magnitude quake in 2003 that flattened the city of Bam, in Iran’s far southeast, killing more than 25,000 people.
This quake also shook tall buildings in India’s capital New Delhi, sending people running into the streets, witnesses said. People also evacuated buildings in Qatar and Dubai, residents said.
“I was working and my work station was shaking,” said Viidhu Sekhri, 35, an underwriter at a New Delhi insurance company. “Then it was a bit shaky so we just rushed outside.”
Earlier in the day two smaller tremors were felt in India’s Himalayan region close to the Chinese border.
An official at India’s disaster management authority said the tremors felt in New Delhi and across northern India were because of the earthquake in Iran.

Revelation 6:12-14 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; [13] And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. [14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Revelation 16:16-21 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
Malachi 4:1-3 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
MAN WON’T DESTROY HIMSELF WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS BUT MANY WILL DIE BY CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS UNDER NUCLEAR UMBRELLAS.
Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Iran earthquake: Eyewitnesses tell of fear and confusion
Iran has been hit by its most powerful earthquake for nearly 40 years. It was also felt in Pakistan, India and the Middle East. Eyewitnesses and BBC correspondents have been sending reports from the region.
Qatar
Leigh Page is a documentary film-maker in Doha
It felt like the building was floating. We could feel it moving from one side to the other, from left to right.
We didn’t do anything and then we felt another shock, the same thing and the building moving left to right.
There was no announcement, we just walked out. We self-evacuated.
The streets were full of people. It’s very hot in Doha and everyone was trying to find some shade.
Pakistan
Shahzeb Jillani is a BBC correspondent in Karachi
We were in our first floor office when our computer monitors started shaking. Colleagues looked at each other and asked if everyone was feeling the tremors.
Someone said “it has to be an earthquake”. It went for for several seconds. I looked up at the wall-mounted television monitor and just then, local TV channels started flashing “BREAKING NEWS”.
A nervous TV presenter started talking about earthquake tremors having been felt in Karachi and Balochistan.
Just then, we left the office and made our way through the stairs out of the high-rise building where the BBC office is located.
Outside, scores of people gathered on the road waiting for the tremors to subside.
India
Sanjoy Majumder is a BBC correspondent in Delhi
The epicentre of the earthquake may have been a considerable distance away in Iran but it felt a lot closer.
The BBC office is on the fifth floor of a 17-storey building in Delhi’s main business district, Connaught Place, and the entire building shook for several minutes.

End Quote Sanjoy Majumder BBC India correspondent
The immediate sense among most of us was one of confusion and surprise – it took us a while to realise what was going on. Indian television was very quick to react – it was flashed across the screen within minutes.
We were told to evacuate and as we trooped out of the front door, we could see people from every floor heading for the stairs.
Clearly it was happening in every building in Connaught Place because the street outside was filled with people.
Many were on their mobile phones, perhaps calling friends and family while some were taking pictures.
But it was quite evident that there had been no major damage and so everyone was quite relaxed after the initial panic. The biggest smiles were on the faces of the ice-cream and street food stall owners – who used the opportunity to cash in.

David Hastings is a senior account manager for a technology company in Dubai
My office is in Knowledge Village near the Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeria.
I’m only on the second floor but the cups on my desk were shaking, and there were lots of shaky tables and chairs.
Then I got a weird feel in my ears, I could tell something was wrong. I could see people running out of buildings. Lots of people were panicking. I was sitting at my desk, and I felt the entire building rocking. It lasted about 40 seconds to a minute.
Building officials were waving red flags to direct people to the evacuation points. evacuated in Dubai and elsewhere in the United Arab Emirates
We’ve had a couple in the past few weeks but nothing like this. I’ve been here for four years and this is my first experience of it.
Quite a few people have been sent home.
I’ve had loads of text messages from friends saying they’ve been sent home from the day. Lots of people evacuated.
Katy Watson edits a BBC business programme in Abu Dhabi
I was with the boss of a development company in an area where there are lots of skyscrapers going up.
We had just arrived at a 75-storey office building and within a minute there was quite a lot of commotion.
Everybody was told to leave the building.
I was only on the first floor so I didn’t actually feel anything.
But people who were on the 12th floor and above say the building swayed for nearly 10 seconds.
There was another earthquake here last week but everybody has been saying it was much stronger today. It was much more sudden.
One friend said he had an office chair on wheels and it started to move around.
This region is on a fault line and lots of buildings are built with that in mind.
