Tehran aerial attack reported

An aerial attack was reported in Tehran on July 3, 2026, according to a headline from The Conservative Treehouse. No further details were provided, as only the headline was accessible.

Separately, shipping activity in the Strait of Hormuz has surged since a ceasefire between the United States and Iran began. The Financial Times reported that trackable crossings rose from one or two per day during the conflict to eight on July 1, based on a seven-day moving average from the Signal maritime data platform.

Container lines Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk told the newspaper that several of their vessels left the strait last week after being trapped in the Gulf. Despite the increase, total transits remain well below the pre-war level of about 135 ships per day.

A report from Egyptian news outlet Dostor stated that Iran attacked two ships after signing a memorandum of understanding with the US last week. The International Maritime Organization estimated around 80 mines need to be removed from the strait. Ships are using either an Iran-designated route requiring IRGC approval or a southern corridor near Oman with some US and Omani air defense support.

In another development, Moneycontrol reported via a headline-only source that Israeli jets entered Iranian airspace during US-Iran talks. No additional information was available.
