President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan expressed his condolences to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi after a strong quake left five people dead and 44 others wounded in the country.

Both leaders wished the injured a speedy recovery.
A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck southern Iran early on Saturday, with the area also hit soon after by two strong quakes of up to 6.3 magnitude.
Some 24 tremors, two with a magnitude of 6.3 and 6.1, followed the 2:00 am (local time) quake that flattened the village of Sayeh Khosh near Iran's Gulf coast in Hormozgan province.
