On August 29, 2025 at 17:00 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 50 km WSW of Mohr, Iran, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 27.4185°, 52.3957°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
