Reuters - An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 struck Irans western province of Lorestan on Wednesday, Iranian state TV reported, adding that there were no immediate reports of casualties.
The quake was at a depth of 7 km (4.4 miles), state TV said, and took place near the city of Firouzabad.
Four rescue teams have been dispatched to the area, TV said.
Criss-crossed by several major fault lines, Iran is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. In 2003, a magnitude 6.6 quake in Kerman province killed 31,000 people and flattened the ancient city of Bam.
In 2017, a magnitude 7 earthquake in western Iran killed more than 600 people and injured more than 9,000.
