Mehdi Zare, Deputy Director of the International Institute for Seismologically-Strong Construction and Seismology, said that an earthquake threatens lives of millions of people in the Tehran Province, Trend reports.
The risks need to be minimized, he says.
Iran is located in a zone with high seismological activity. At least 90% of its territory lies in an area of tectonic splits. Earthquakes in the country are common.
