Аnnotation: The process of preparation and development of a catastrophic seismic event that significantly changed the natural environment in the western part of Zagros and affected the earth's crust and upper mantle is analyzed. The macroseismic effect, focal mechanism of the hearth, aftershock sequence, seismotectonic position of the source and other parameters characterizing the features of the zone of this disastrous earthquake that occurred in the border region of Iran-Iraq on November 12, 2017 are described. The magnitude of it was about M = 7.4. In one town (Iraq, Darbandikhan) was recorded macroseismic effect, meets a nine influences on a Modified scale, Mercalli. An area of about 150´100 km
