On May 12, 2026, an earthquake was felt in the Pardis area near Tehran, accompanied by two aftershocks with magnitudes of 4 and 3.4 on the Richter scale, according to reports on the اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری channel.

The spokesperson for Tehran's emergency services stated that as of these moments, no reports of casualties have been received as a result of the tremor. This message was disseminated by official sources and various organizations, including the home channel of the Houthi 'propaganda machine' in Yemen.

The head of the Iranian Red Crescent emphasized on several platforms, including the organization's official channel and the 'Saberin News' channel affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, that there is no reason for public concern, as no financial damage or loss of life was caused at the earthquake epicenters. Channels identified with supporters of the current administration, such as חامیان پزشکیان, also published similar reassuring messages to the public.

The coverage was characterized by a broad consensus among Iranian government media and outlets affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, repeatedly emphasizing the lack of damage to prevent public panic in the densely populated area of Pardis.
