It is the second significant earthquake to produce tremors in the Gulf in the past year, after more than 40 people died in a quake in Iran on April 26 last year, which led to thousands of people being evacuated in Gulf cities. 
Iran also was rocked by a 5.4 earthquake in the Shabankareh district in the southern province of Bushehr on May 21.
While there were no official reports of damage or injuries, residents reportedly huddled outside for hours for fear of aftershocks. 
Iran sits astride several major faults in the earth's crust and is prone to frequent earthquakes, many of which have been devastating.
The deadliest quake in the country was in June 1990 and measured 7.7 on the Richter scale. About 37,000 people were killed and more than 100,000 injured in the northwestern provinces of Gilan and Zanjan. It devastated about 27 towns and 1,870 villages.
