On April 4, 2026, a joint US-Israeli attack targeted multiple locations across Iran, including the Shahid Beheshti University and residential areas, resulting in at least 34 deaths. The strikes followed a deadline set by US President Donald Trump for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its infrastructure. Cities including Tehran, Qom, and Bandar-e Lengeh were hit, with civilian casualties reported. Sharif University, a leading Iranian scientific institution, also sustained significant damage. Iranian officials condemned the attacks, accusing the US of using "bunker-buster" bombs and warning of a response "in kind," while also stating that Trump's threats incite war crimes.
