The quakes struck just a few miles from a city near the Persian Gulf.
Two earthquakes measuring magnitudes 4.9 and 4.5 hit southwestern Iran Wednesday morning.

The second quake hit almost exactly one hour later about 10 miles southeast of the city.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
