Speculation surrounding the 4.5 magnitude earthquake recorded in Iran’s Semnan province on October 5 has led to rumors that the tremors might be linked to a nuclear test, especially due to its proximity to a nuclear facility. However, these claims have neither been confirmed nor denied by Iranian officials. Some users on social media have drawn comparisons to past instances, such as North Korea’s 2013 nuclear test that was initially registered as an earthquake.
The speculation is fueled by long-standing accusations from the West that Iran has been developing a military nuclear program, despite the country’s insistence that its nuclear ambitions are peaceful. Iran is known to be capable of enriching enough fissile material in a short period of time, but concrete evidence of a nuclear test has not emerged.
Amidst the ongoing tensions with Israel, the timing of the earthquake adds to the uncertainty. The decades-long conflict between Iran and Israel has intensified following Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, leading to escalating military actions between Israel and groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon. The conflict has raised concerns about broader regional instability, with some even fearing the potential for a larger global confrontation.
For now, the link between the earthquake and a nuclear test remains speculative, as no official confirmation or evidence has surfaced to substantiate the claims.
