Iran is a country characterized by increased seismicity. Due to the constant earthquakes in the country, after each earthquake, building destruction occurs. In addition, Iran is a leading country in terms of oil production. In areas with high seismicity, oil pipelines have been built, which are also destroyed by seismic events. It was noted that the centers of earthquakes are localized along active tectonic faults; therefore, an analysis of the nature of modern tectonic movements has its relevance in predicting future natural phenomena. The example of the analysis of earthquake sources in the region of Gechsaran, which is the oil center, shows the principal features of tectonic development that affect seismicity.
