According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the quake was at a depth of about 10 kilometers with its epicenter 114 kilometers northwest of the city of Ilam, close to Iran\u2019s border with Iraq. Iran\u2019s state broadcaster IRIB specified that the quake was centered near the predominantly Kurdish town of Sarpol-e Zahab in Iran\u2019s western province of Kermanshah. A 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit the same area near Sarpol-e Zahab in November 2017, killing at least 620 people and injuring thousands. Workers of Haft Tapeh Hold 21st Day of Their Protests On Sunday, the workers of Haft Tapeh sugar mill gathered again in front of the mayor\u2019s office in Shush, Khuzestan, to protests against unpaid wages, the imprisonment of their colleagues and the mismanagement of the factory by private owners. This is the 21st day of the workers\u2019 strike and the 13th consecutive day of demonstrations. Haft Tapeh is Iran\u2019s largest sugar factory. The workers began their protests earlier this month, demanding the payment of salaries that haven\u2019t been paid for several months. They are also demanding the removal of private owners of the company who have pushed the factory toward bankruptcy. Iran\u2019s Regime Sends 40,000 Emails to Disrupt Bahrain Elections The Bahrain Interior Ministry issued a statement on the Iranian regime\u2019s meddling in his country\u2019s elections. This recent announcement derives from an investigation of fake news reports sent to Bahraini citizens and many sources of these messages are being identified. Individuals stationed in Bahrain and Iran who have hacked servers to carry out their illegal measures are carrying out this crime. This investigation also sheds light on the fact that the Iranian regime is the source of 40,000 email messages aiming to disrupt Bahrain\u2019s parliamentary and municipality elections. Syrian Opposition Leader: Iranian Militias Behind Chemical Attack on Aleppo Iran\u2019s militias were behind the chemical attack targeting Aleppo, and they seek to abort the Sochi deal in Idlib, the head of the High Negotiations Committee, Naser al-Hariri, told al-Hadath news channel. The High Negotiations Committee is an umbrella body which was created to represent the Syrian opposition in the planned Geneva peace talks in 2016. &quot;The Iranian presence in Syria and in the south in particular is unprecedented. Iran has recently established many military sites, headquarters, training centers and others,&quot; said Hariri, who was recently re-elected as head of the negotiations committee. He added that Tehran is \u201cpart of the problem and not part of the solution to the Syrian cause, and any role, decision or attempt to trim or weaken Iran militarily, politically or economically, will have a positive impact on the Syrian file, but these actions alone are not enough.\u201d\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran news in brief, November 26, 2018Iran Raises Injury Toll from 6.4 Magnitude Earthquake to Over 600 Iranian state television says the number of people injured in a 6.4 magnitude [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-211058","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-iran-news-in-brief","7":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Iran news in brief, November 26, 2018 - NCRI<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Iran news in brief, November 26, 2018Iran Raises Injury Toll from 6.4 Magnitude Earthquake to Over 600 Iranian state television says the number of people injured in a 6.4 magnitude earthquake that struck western Iran near the border with Iraq has risen to over 600 people.According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the quake was at a depth of about 10 kilometers with its epicenter 114 kilometers northwest of the city of Ilam, close to Iran\u2019s border with Iraq.Iran\u2019s state broadcaster IRIB specified that the quake was centered near the predominantly Kurdish town of Sarpol-e Zahab in Iran\u2019s western province of Kermanshah.A 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit the same area near Sarpol-e Zahab in November 2017, killing at least 620 people and injuring thousands.Workers of Haft Tapeh Hold 21st Day of Their ProtestsOn Sunday, the workers of Haft Tapeh sugar mill gathered again in front of the mayor\u2019s office in Shush, Khuzestan, to protests against unpaid wages, the imprisonment of their colleagues and the mismanagement of the factory by private owners.
