The first quake struck about thirty-seven miles north east of Tabriz, with a magnitude of 6.4.
It was followed, eleven minutes later, by a 6.3 that was twenty-nine miles north east of the city.
At least ten aftershocks followed the dual quakes.
Iranian state TV said that six villages had been completely leveled, and that sixty others were at least fifty percent damaged.
People were urged to spend the night outdoors in open areas.
