Earthquakes in Iran — February 2026

13 earthquakes were recorded in Iran during February 2026, an average of 0.5 per day.

13 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 15 km.

The month's largest event in Iran was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Mohr, Iran on 01 February 2026 at 05:11 UTC. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Iran monthly average of 8 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 7 recorded the previous month.

92% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 8% 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 12 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 13 February, when 6 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.2 near Mohr, Iran on 01 February at 10 km; M4.9 near Mohr, Iran on 13 February at 10 km; M4.7 near Mohr, Iran on 04 February at 10 km.

That is 73% above the 8 events Iran averages per month across the 21 months on record.
