At least 61 people were killed and more than 300 others were hurt in a powerful earthquake on the Iran-Iraq border region Sunday, Iranian officials revealed.
The quake had a magnitude of 7.3, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced, as reports of serious structural damage started to emerge. At least six of the deaths were on Iraq's side of the border, Iranian state media reported.
On its website, the USGS placed the quake's epicenter at about 18.6 miles southwest of the Iraqi city of Halabja.
The USGS also issued an "orange" alert for "shaking-related fatalities and economic losses."

So sorry for the loss of innocent lives. Couldn’t the Good Lord be more specific about who he takes down? It’s always the poor peasants, who are just trying to scrape by in this life. Why can’t He direct his wrath towards Capitol Hill, D.C., USA?
God want us to suffer more.
Aaaargh!
No. He wants to save more.
You need to edit for accuracy. What your are really saying is 'So sorry for the loss of Muslims.'
DC? He should’ve been targeting the Mullahs in Tehran.
You are correct. It is Satan who wants us to suffer more, not God
Muslims usually bury their dead within 24 hours so getting an accurate count is a bit iffy.

There, I fixed it.

God had nothing to do with this.
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
If it were God, you would know, it would be exceptionally destructive and no one would have survived.
Long as it’s Muslims. I’m not going to be upset because there’s a few less of them on the planet.
at least 61 dead? can you imagine the line of virgins waiting in heaven?
Wow...7.3!
It’s Allah’s Will.
“HE” doesn’t target anybody...
not funny, newbie....not funny...
