Seven earthquakes hit Iran's southern Kish Island, jolting Dubai and other cities around the Persian Gulf on June 15. The U.S. Geological Survey stated six magnitudes 4 temblors struck and one magnitude 5.3 off the island. Although no damage or injuries were reported, authorities dispatched rescue crews to the town of Jenah in Hormozgan province. Iran is located on major seismic faults and averages one earthquake every day.
