Iranian scientists say they have developed a new technology to predict the time, place and magnitude of an earthquake with 90% accuracy.
The new technique records the slightest changes in earth waves and it has successfully predicted earthquakes to date.
Iran is planning to use the new system within 3 years. It is possible to dramatically decrease the technique errors by using several systems in combinations.

A recent wave of whale and dolphin deaths in the Persian Gulf near the coast of Hormuzgan province is being blamed on a July oil spill by a oil sludge, containing several byproducts, released by a raffinery in Bandar Abbas.
An Iranian environmentalist, said the Gulf is 47 times more polluted than what he considers to be the "standard level."
A deputy head of the Iranian Environmental Protection Organization, said that he was skeptical that the deaths were the result of the spill.
He said the dolphins likely died from gradual poisoning related to "chemical pollution" or oil.
