US-Israeli attacks

Iran has proposed a temporary arrangement to Oman for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, allowing Iranian control over one direction of traffic and part of the opposite direction. Iran rejected Oman's proposal for an equal division of transit routes, citing unaddressed security concerns amid US-Israeli attacks, and warned the strait would remain closed if its plan is rejected. Tehran also stated it does not recognize an alternative southern transit route along Oman's coast.

Tehran is repairing homes damaged by US-Israeli attacks, with over 95% of 50,000 units with minor or moderate damage already fixed. Progress has been made on two-thirds of 2,135 units requiring demolition, while 200 families remain in hotels and 1,800 have received housing deposits.

Thousands of Iranians gathered in Tehran on July 4, 2026, for a funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israeli attacks on February 28. Mourners chanted 'revenge' and emphasized vows to avenge his death, with his coffin and those of family members displayed at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla.

Ali Khamenei, Iran's former supreme leader, was killed in US-Israeli attacks in late February. His burial is scheduled for July 9 in Mashhad, where he was born in 1939. He led Iran for nearly 36 years, overseeing key moments in the Islamic republic's history.

Iran executed Mehrdad Mohammadinia and Ashkan Maleki for an attack on a mosque during January protests, claiming their actions provided a pretext for US-Israeli attacks.

Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, is set to visit Pakistan, Oman, and Russia to explore reopening stalled US-Israeli peace talks and address Iran's demand for a permanent cessation of attacks. Discussions may also include a potential new arrangement for governing the Strait of Hormuz with Oman.
