south-east Iran, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reports.

The epicentre of the huge quake was 86km (53 miles) from the city of Khash, near Pakistan's border.

Tremors have been felt across the Gulf and the Middle East. Tall buildings swayed in the Indian capital Delhi, reports say.

At least 37 people were killed and 850 wounded in a 6.3 magnitude quake in south-west Iran on 10 April.

Gonna love how everyone is talking about the Boston bombing and not this nor the Iraq bombing, anyway, it's tragic

I suppose that they aren't really talking about this as this is a natural disaster, so as terribly sad as it may be, it happens often so coverage on it isn't as high as something like a bombing even though there has been less deaths and injuries.
If you see what I mean

Iran has always had major problems with earthquakes, I read that there is a big worry about a large one hitting Tehran as the buildings won't be able to withstand it and chaos will ensue - that's one reason why Iran are considering moving their capital city (again).

It's a busy few days for the news channels. Hopefully they'll be able to pick themselves up after this earthquake and continue on with their lives. R.I.P to those who've died.
