The day after the Buin Zahra earthquake; the start of debris removal.

The Buin Zahra earthquake was one of the bitterest natural disasters in Iran's contemporary history, which took place on September 1.

This earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.2 on the Richter scale, destroyed dozens of villages and, according to reports, killed over 25,000 people.

From that time on, Buin Zahra became a symbol of Iran's vulnerability to earthquakes. The day after, the debris removal had begun.
