Alpine-Himalayan fault lines hit by US bombing
transparently causes 30,000 deaths in Iran.

The Bam earthquake of December 26, 2003 with a
magnitude of 6.6 Richter is one of several deadly
tremors that have repeatedly struck Iran's towns and
villages. Understanding the geologic forces behind
this tremendous natural hazard is of fundamental
importance to any risk assessment or loss prevention
efforts in the region.

Geological Setting of Iran

Earthquakes in Iran and neighbouring regions (e.g.,
Turkey and Afghanistan) are closely connected to their
position within the geologically active
Alpine-Himalayan belt.
