Iran is located on several seismic fault lines and is very prone to earthquakes. It experienced at least one earthquake per-day, too minor to make any serious damages.
Two years ago, a Muslim cleric from Iran speculated that Iran's earthquakes are caused by immodestly dressed women.
That's very powerful. Women have almost Avengers like super powers to shake and move earth rocks and craters.
To be fair, this 'blaming of the natural disasters on women/group of people' is not unique to Muslims.
In 2004, When Asian Tsunami hit countries in South Asia, the religious folks from world's major religions were quick to point out that this was God's wrath.
Religious people are just that way. They always need more supernatural reasons to explain natural disasters.
