The quake hit the Iran-Iraq border region and had a depth of 10 kilometers, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
The EMSC reported that the quake was widely felt more than 500 kilometers away from its epicenter.
Comment: Sputnik reports the number of injured has reached 361:
"The number of people, who asked for medical treatment, amounts to 361," Kolivand said, quoted by the Fars news agency.
Earlier media reports said that people had been injured in the cities of Gilan Gharb, Sarpol Zahab and Qasr-e Shirin.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) said that the Iraqi-Iranian border region had been hit by the 6.3-magnitude earthquake. The tremors were registered at 16:37 GMT, 163 kilometers (over 100 miles) northeast of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad and 20 kilometers southwest of the Iranian city of Sarpol Zahab.
Iran has faced several powerful quakes recently. Last year, a disastrous 7.2-magnitude quake killed and wounded hundreds. Earthquakes are common in mountainous Iran, due to the convergence of four major tectonic plates in the region.

A string of the eerie-looking parasites called Phronima - which bear an uncanny resemblance to the alien queen in the iconic movies - have been found on Ventry Beach outside Dingle.
The creatures - which eat barrel jellyfish from the inside out and ride around in their corpse - are an extremely rare find in Ireland.
The director of Dingle Oceanworld Kevin Flannery said: "Then the female lays her eggs inside in the poor barrel jellyfish."
He quipped that it is very timely find as pilots spotted strange objects flying close to their planes last Friday.
"So, I'm saying the aliens have landed", he joked.
Comment: We are seeing an increasing number of bizarre, odd (perhaps even mutated species), previously unknown and mysterious creatures being discovered recently, together with increases in abnormal animal and marine behaviour. All over the world such 'strange' and 'unusual' incidents are quickly becoming the norm, as are mass fish die offs.

The fact remains that there is a lot of hard evidence suggesting that, far from 'global warming', we're already in the process of entering a new ice age (which could end up being a lot bigger than the last one), accompanied by increasing cataclysmic activity such as major destructive storms, earthquakes, and volcanism, among other 'anomalous' goings-on all over the planet. So no wonder the animals are behaving strangely. Maybe they're trying to tell us something important. The question is, is anyone listening?Creatures from the deep signal major Earth Changes: Is anyone paying attention?

The sudden phenomenon in the Andaman Sea was recorded as video and photos and widely shared on social media. The phenomenon happened a little before noon on Sunday when the four waterspouts shot out towards the horizon for 10-15 minutes, which was observed by those on the Sun Rise Beach, East of Koh Lipe.
However, the spectacle disappeared when rains arrived.
Weather Forecast Bureau spokesman Surapong Sarapa said a waterspout was common in the Andaman Sea coast during the rainy season but it was rare to have four of them at the same time.

© Global NewsSnow blanketed Calgary on Friday.
Snowfall warnings were issued around 5 p.m. for Calgary, and areas north, east and south of the city. That warning stayed in place until early Saturday morning.
Environment Canada said Saturday that 13.2 cm of snow fell on Friday, which marks a new snowfall record for Nov. 23. The previous record was set in 1942 when 9.4 cm of snow fell.
November is normally the third snowiest month of the year with an average of 16.6 cm of snow over the 30 days. This year, Calgary has experienced a higher-than-average amount of snow for the month, already sitting at 23.7 cm as of Nov. 23.
This comes on the heels of a historically wet October that brought nearly five times the average amount of snow, ending the month with 48.4 cm of snow.
According to Environment Canada historical data, there has been a notable uptick of days with heavy accumulations of snow this year. Calgary will usually see one to two days with snowfall accumulations of at least 10 cm throughout the year; so far in 2018, there have been four days with over 10 cm of snow, one each in February, March, October and November.
Comment: Chilly weather is smashing cold records all across Canada this month. Meanwhile from the Prairies to Prince Edward Island, a harsh fall harvest means Canada could be facing a serious potato shortage, one that may cause millions of dollars worth of Canadian potatoes to rot in the ground this year.
