March 3, 2026: An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 has hit near Khonj in Fars province in southern Iran on Tuesday (March 3) amid the ongoing air strikes from the US-Israel coalition forces on the country. The epicentre of the quake was located about 55 km northwest of Gerash region in the country.

The earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometres below the surface at 10:24 local time, says the United States Geological Survey (USGS). There are no reports yet of any casualties or damage to property.

Speculations have arisen following satellite imagery reports about activity near the Natanz Nuclear Facility in Iran. But there is no confirmation about any link between the earthquake and a nuclear activity.
