The Iranian governments estimates show that two quakes that hit areas in southern province of Hormozgan on Saturday have incurred around $25 million in losses.
Hormozgans Governor Mehdi Doosti said on Monday that initial loss estimates from the quakes that struck two southern counties of the province had amounted to 7 trillion rials.
Doosti said the estimate mainly covered the damage caused to residential units and the infrastructure in those regions.
He said the quakes had caused partial or total damage to nearly 3,000 houses, mostly in villages, in Hormozgan.
At least one person was killed and dozens were injured in the magnitude of 6.0 and magnitude of 6.3 earthquakes that hit areas near the port city of Bandar Abbas on Sunday.
Authorities have said that basic services including electricity has been fully restored in areas affected by the quakes.
Doosti said government agencies had handed out nearly 3,000 tents to people left homeless by the earthquakes.
He said the operation to rebuild the houses destroyed in the quakes will begin later this week.
