Using these data and paleostress methods, the studied area is divided into 15 smaller stable stress regions and the mean stress tensor related to each region is determined. Then, stress events are separated using Multiple Inverse Method. Based on mean stress tensors -obtained from stress regions- and rotation of fault data orientation -based on Anderson’s theory in compressional tectonic regimes-, the stress trajectory map is sketched for mean stress tensors acting in the regions during geological time. Configurations of trajectories show that they seem to obey the overall tectonic regime in Iran. This result refutes that the North-Tehran tectonic wedge could be a dynamic wedge. %U http://www.gsjournal.ir/article_54454_8de34650b3614efb3137f5997497ce59.pdf
