Published by: thefactnews

Tehran/Southern Iran: February 19, 2026

A 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck southern Iran this morning, causing widespread panic. GFZ German Research Centre reported epicenter just 10 km deep—typical tectonic activity in active zone, but speculation mounts given regional conflicts.

Nuclear Test Rumors

Social media buzz claims secret Iranian test:

  • Shallow depth raises suspicions.

  • Viral videos show post-quake black smoke.

  • Timing coincides with Iran-US peak tensions; US warships deployed in Gulf.

Escalating US-Iran Conflict

Iran threatens sinking American vessels if attacked. No official agency (CTBTO) confirms nuclear activity; experts affirm natural seismic event.

India Impact Risk

Middle East war disrupts:

  • Oil prices surge, hiking petrol/diesel costs.

  • Millions of Indian Gulf workers face safety threats.
