7-magnitude quake in Tehran will leave 5 million dead: experts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Scenes after a recent earthquake in Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The state-run\u00a0Mostaghel<\/i>\u00a0daily in Iran published a piece on May 11 titled, \u201cTehran will one day be destroyed!\u201d warning about the consequences of a massive earthquake hitting the Iranian capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cTehran will one day be destroyed. The title of this piece is not meant to be a catchy line, but in fact mirror the remarks of Professor Bahram Akashe, the most renowned earthquake expert in Iran. Specialists in this field all agree that a 7-magnitude earthquake in Tehran would logically leave behind around five million dead. This evaluation has been conducted considering the fact that Iran, and indeed the capital Tehran, are experiencing a number of low-magnitude earthquakes on a daily basis recently. Any of these lesser powerful quakes can in fact lead to a massive earthquake similar to that of Lisbon.\u201d<\/p>\n
