USGS just revised the depth of the earthquake and it’s much deeper.

Remarkably for a quake of this size on land, the impact looks to be minimal.

Hopefully, it was enough to destroy the underground labs where they are building THE bomb. Don’t care about anyone working there, those can go along with the nuclear waste.

This was nowhere remotely near any Iranian nuclear site.

The problem with earthquakes of this magnitude is that they tend to set the whole planet “ringing.” It’s likely we’ll see some subsequent seismic events around the world due to the size of this one.

Nice to know Halliburton’s earthquake machine is fully operational. Watch out, Norks... you’re next after we give one more test in California!

Couldn’t happen in a better place.

Yes! These children deserve to suffer! It's their fault they were born in Iran!

I concur with your sentiment. The ruling islamofascist regime is not representative of the Persian people, a great many of whom are in fact opposed to islamofascism.

God allowed the earthquake to happen there, maybe he dislikes them too.

Gee.... might as well blame God for the entire Universe existing. Maybe we should all sue GOD for faulty construction and lack of properly displayed warning signs.
