Earthquake in Iran

Earlier today, a deadly earthquake struck in Iran's south-west province of Bushehr. The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3 killing more than 30 people and leaving at least 850 people injured. Rescue teams were immediately sent to the area, but darkness hindered the rescue operations. The US Geological Survey believe that the earthquake struck 90km south of the country's only nuclear power station in Bushehr, but the nuclear power plant is in working order. The earthquake was felt across the Gulf in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain.
