Most of my relatives are in Ahar, trying to call but not able to connect.

It seems too close to Ahar, and too big.

I hope everything is ok, just phone lines disruption is not a big deal. Iranian buildings are specifically made to withstand earthquakes, so there shouldnt be much destruction either.
