Earth quakes very often in Iran. Sounds like fearmongering and repeat of lies about Iraq.
From the comments, it seems likely this was not a nuclear test.
According to the US Geological Survey, the depth of the quake was at 10 km, which is too deep for an atomic test. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000nwr9/executive

Don't know if it was a nuke or not, but the 10km bit isn't info one way or another.
TIL, thank you!
Right. A seismographic event like an Earthquake has a distinct and detectable difference from a nuclear test we know this because in the 60's we had plenty of examples of the later to compare to.
IDK. I want it to be a earthquake, but off of what you said...
Edit: also, the article stated that for an accurate reading of the depth of an earthquake the station needs to be closer to earthquake than the earthquake is deep or else it just gets put down at 10k deep since that's the average. IDK about stations in Iran though
Well I don't like that
