The link did not seem to work re: depth earthquake

A useful rule of thumb is that a reliable depth requires that the distance from the epicenter to the nearest station must be less than the depth of the earthquake.

The most common reason for having to fix the depth is that the earthquake occurred too far from the nearest seismic station.

the rule of thumb does illustrate one conclusion: fixed depths are more common for shallow earthquakes than for deep ones.

I can confirm from my Middle East contacts that this was a nuclear test.

Yes, Iran has the ability to deliver warheads anywhere regionally via ballistic missile.

They absolutely have MIRVs.

Game over.

Inshallah it was a nuke. Israel is the world’s most disgusting rogue state.

USGS's web page says that they assign (educated guess) 10km depth if there are no stations nearby.

48km southwest of Semnan, is an agricultural(?) outpost, Safa'iyen. It's located on a flood pain, so there's probably well water.

No evidence of any excavation/drilling activity in that area.

Nothing to see here. Move on.
