TEHRAN (AFP) – At least five million Tehran residents need to relocate elsewhere because Iran's capital sits on several fault lines and is threatened by earthquakes, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday.
"We cannot order people to evacuate the city... but provisions have to be made. At least five million should leave Tehran so it is less crowded and more manageable in case of an incident," Mehr news agency quoted him as saying.

Like I said in another thread, the signals of upcoming war in Iran are now so obvious. Perhaps Ahmadinejad is afraid the opening salvo of the invasion will be a HAARP attack?

I think its more like "AT least 5 million must leave Tehran so when the US drops a nuclear bomb, 5 million will be saved"

You can't move 5 million people overnight, where would they live ???
There's more to this that's for sure and you can read a number of senarios into it.
My opinion, Amadinnerjacket is a lunatic...period

The US won't drop a Nuke on Iran.
The world would never allow such a thing and people just aren't that stupid. They aren't going to ruin the planet for themselves, they just want most of us off of it.
If anybody is to fear in regards to using nuclear weapons, look no further than Israel. They've stated on numerous occasions they would be happy to turn Tehran into a glass crater.

Ahmadinejad offers incentives to reduce Tehran’s population
Tehran Times City Desk
TEHRAN – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced on Sunday that his administration plans to reduce the population of Tehran by offering various incentives.
The administration will grant loan, land and subsidy for those Tehranis who move to other cities, said Ahmadinejad in a meeting with the directors of the Islamic Revolution Housing Foundation.
He said the administration has drafted a comprehensive plan for the transfer of the population from Tehran province to other provinces, adding the details of the plan will be released later.
The metropolis of Tehran houses about 10 million people.
Earlier the president had urged Tehran citizens to move to other cities, saying the metropolis of Tehran, which sits on two major fault lines, is faced with the threat of massive earthquakes.
“Tehran is faced with issues such as heavy traffic congestion and air pollution which can be resolved, but how can earthquakes be prevented?”
He also asked if a major quake hits Tehran, how the crisis can be managed in this overpopulated city?
At least five million people should leave Tehran in order to reduce the population to a standard level, he added.
Ahmadinejad also highlighted the importance of developing rural areas, saying everyone who is ready to work in villages should be granted interest free loans, he asserted.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he expressed hope that once again people live in spacious houses.
Unfortunately, the unjust economic systems ruling the world have made people live in compact and crammed apartments, he noted.
