TEHRAN (Reuters) - A meteorite has hit northern Iran causing minor damage to property but there were no immediate reports of casualties, state radio has said.
It said the impact sent locals in panic onto the streets in the northern town of Babol in Mazandaran province.
"A meteorite which hit Babol on Friday morning caused only some minor damage to residential units," radio said, without giving further details or citing any source.
It said the impact was felt up to one kilometre away.
Iranians are currently mourning at least 30,000 people killed by an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale which struck southeastern Iran on December 26.

Earthquakes, poverty, pestilence, war, famine, meteorites---and if they don't get their act together fast---The United States Armed Forces. Then they will WISH it was meteorites and quakes!

"Do you think they are already praying to this new rock?" Once they find it, they will bow down and worship it.
In the meantime . .
The Black Stone (al-Hajar al-Aswad)
The material of the Black Stone has not been precisely determined. It is sometimes classified as lava and sometimes as basalt. The reason for this difficulty is that its visible surface is worn smooth by hand-touching, etc[1]. Its estimated diameter is approximately 12"[2]. Its colour is reddish black with red and yellow particles.

No need for the Cube at Mecca anymore.
Waltzing around a black rock named allah inside a tent is just tourism scam for a place no one would ever go.

Don't think it made much of an impact on the people. Well, not the ones who weren't under it. ;-)
