According to the report by Mehr News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Propagation Organization, Mehdi Zare, a seismologist and professor at the International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering, referred to the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in the 19th century on the eastern Tehran fault, stating: "The occurrence of recent 4-magnitude earthquakes on April 17 and May 11 in Pardis indicates energy release. The continuous occurrence of small earthquakes releases part of the fault's energy, but these tremors can be a sign of instability in a broader area, which may precede a larger event.

In other words, small and moderate tremors, while somewhat reducing stress, cannot definitively rule out the possibility of a major earthquake. In some cases, such sequences can be foreshocks."
