Yes, that was my first thought. I wonder if we ever implemented Rods from God?
Very, very peculiar…….strange happenings going on🤔
Sunna or later Shi’ite happens..
It’s happened twice now. And you know what they say:
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. three times is enemy action.

And their quakes are usually pretty destructive.
We know God is on our side. A little praying can't hurt.
And God...Please protect President Trump and his family.
Two tactical nukes touched off?
Can we be certain that these events are indeed natural andnot seismic signatures of Iran testing atomic bombs underground,?
Iran is very prone to earthquakes...and destructive. There’s like 9 faults that run through the country.
Seems rather unlikely that they would be doing this 6-7 miles underground. Apparently the deepest known nuclear test was 9,350 ft - in 1985 by the Soviets.
(Two tactical nukes touched off?)
Though there would be a detectable signature
the B83 has a frangible nose facilitating
perpendicular impact with the ground
Several decades ago someone suggested to me that it could be used as an “earthquake” weapon
I doubt that’s what happened here, though
The B83 is typically used for airburst engagement delivery
(Iran is very prone to earthquakes)
YES 😲 👍👍👍

lol mine too, earthquakes😂😎
Perhaps US induced “testing”?😎🤔

Reminds me of a joke I heard
Friend“My wife wants a divorce”
Me “why?”
Friend “she says I am not American enough”
Me “what?”
Friend “ yup, should have seen that coming a kilometer away”😂
Unrelated but still makes me laugh
From libertarian dad jokes
Knock knock
Get a warrant 😂😂
Earthquakes in that area are pretty common.
😉🤣
