Iran hit with 6.2 magnitude- 11 may 2013.

A 6.2 magnitude earthquake shook Iran early Saturday morning-11 may 2013, injuring at least 15 people, according to Iranian state TV.

The earthquake’s epicenter, which began at 6:59 am 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.

Some 26,000 people were killed in a 6.6-magnitude quake that destroyed the historic city of Bam in 2003.
