I knew you would start such conversation.
You don't need to worry,we know better how to deal with earthquake and its victims.The problem is,the ethnic flaming has made you blind.
If it was south,west,east,north or rest of other parts,they'd be still all Iranians.They are not slow,you just don't want to understand that how is the situation in a place hours after an earthquake,especially in rural areas which all communications has been lost.

In the 2011 Van earth quake,Iran was the first country to send help to Turkey,but now,hours after the incident,no one has sent helps.Just you guys sitting n your houses,big mouthing and ordering this is bad,this is good.Stop it please.It's all over the media that they are acting as fast as they can,if you are not satisfied,that's your problem.

Any dead is a tragedy...but they must be improving the building codes in Iran as I seem to recall far more deaths in previous quakes.
