Reports are that it wasn’t a quake now. Nothing confirmed yet, but we’ll know in the next couple of days.
It wasn’t a quake, it was a glacier landslide.
The USGS made that clear.

USS Benfold.
Magnificent vessel. It’s a shame that she’s a brick and she’s drowning slowly.

It’s okay, Trump said Russia wasn’t helping Iran.
Russia secretly helping Iran develop supersonic cruise missiles - report
Russia has secretly helped Iran build supersonic cruise missiles, according to the Financial Times.
The covert programme, codenamed C340L, reportedly began in 2023 and has continued throughout the US and Israels war on Iran. The newspaper, citing Russian correspondence, travel records and military patents, reported that the programme was “one of the most significant known transfers of strategic military technology from Moscow to Tehran”.
According to the report, some of Russia’s most experienced missile specialists are helping Iran develop a ramjet propulsion system that could allow anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles to travel at several times the speed of sound, making them more difficult to detect and intercept.
Jim Lamson, a former CIA military analyst, said: “For the Iranians, this would give them a qualitatively new strategic weapon system that could threaten US navy vessels.”
Fabian Hinz, an expert on Iranian missiles and senior analyst with Conflict Armament Research, told the Financial Times that such a programme “would require political clearance from the very top in Russia”.

If the war is over, then Iran starts charging ships for using the strait. Goodbye economic issues.
