A 5.2–5.3 magnitude earthquake struck Iran’s southern Bushehr Province near the strategic Asaluyeh region on February 1, 2026, shaking parts of the Persian Gulf region. The tremor triggered a wave of social media speculation claiming the earthquake was caused by a secret nuclear test near Iran’s only operational nuclear facilities — claims experts and official data have not supported. Seismologists say the event was a natural tectonic quake in one of the world’s most earthquake-prone areas, and there have been no confirmed reports of damage, injuries, or radiation issues.
