Speculation Rises Over Possible Iranian Nuclear Test Following Earthquake

A 4.5-magnitude earthquake near an Iranian nuclear facility fuels theories of a covert nuclear test amid escalating regional tensions.

The earthquake occurred on October 5 in Iran's Semnan province, close to a nuclear power plant, raising suspicions of a nuclear test.
The quake's shallow depth and proximity to the facility have led to widespread speculation on social media about Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Similar seismic events in the past, such as those in North Korea, have been linked to underground nuclear tests, adding to the current conjecture.
The timing of the earthquake coincides with heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, following recent attacks and military actions.
Official confirmation of a nuclear test has not been provided, but the situation has intensified fears of further conflict in the region.
