 A 6.2 magnitude earthquake shook Iran early Saturday morning, followed by a 5.5 aftershock. The earthquake’s epicenter, which began at 6:59am local time, came in the southern part of the country near the Persian Gulf, but very far from Tehran.

The earthquake was felt most on the shore of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic trade point for the international oil market.
So far there have been no reports of damage or casualties caused by the quake.
Last month the Islamic Republic was hit by a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake, which sent tremors throughout the Persian Gulf states and India. Dozens of people were killed and over a hundred injured across the region.
