Earthquakes in Iran — June 2025
7 earthquakes were recorded in Iran during June 2025, an average of 0.2 per day.
7 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in Iran was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Semnan, Iran on 20 June 2025 at 17:49 UTC. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake radiates roughly 674 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Iran monthly average of 8 events over the period we cover, and level with the 7 recorded the previous month.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 6 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.1 near Semnan, Iran on 20 June at 10 km; M4.5 near Qarnābād, Iran on 24 June at 10 km; M4.4 near Bandar Abbas, Iran on 22 June at 10 km.
That is close to the 8 events Iran averages per month across the 21 months on record.
