Tehran has been hit by a new Israeli-US attack

A joint attack by the US and Israel hit Tehran this Tuesday (04/07/2026), as reported by the Iranian Red Crescent and confirmed by the Hebrew Defense Forces (IDF), amid an ultimatum from US President Donald Trump to reach an agreement.

"Another residential area is targeted by the Zionist government and US airstrikes and now Red Crescent rescuers are providing aid and rescue," Persian aid services shared on social network X with a video showing workers on the rubble of the building.

Neither the Red Crescent nor Iranian agencies have reported any casualties or injuries at this time.

Similarly, the IDF claimed on its Telegram channel that there was a wave of airstrikes aimed at damaging the infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime in Tehran and other parts of the country, without specifying which specific points were attacked.

Brazil announced measures against war fuel hikes.

Brazil's government announced measures on Monday to curb rising fuel prices fueled by war in the Middle East, which threatens to fuel inflation ahead of general elections in October.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is expected to sign a series of provisions, including diesel subsidies, tax breaks on biodiesel, and support for liquefied gas imports.It will also provide a line of credit to the aviation sector and eliminate the tax on aviation kerosene, given expectations that rising fuel prices will lead to higher ticket prices.

According to Brazil's Petroleum Agency, diesel at gas stations in Brazil has increased by about 24% since the start of the war at the end of February.There are fears that consumer goods such as goods and food will become more expensive and affect the supply chain, hurting the country's strongest economic sector, the agricultural sector.(afp, da)

The United Nations is expected to vote on the Hormuz resolution on Tuesday.

The United Nations Security Council is expected to vote on Tuesday on a resolution to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, but on a significantly watered-down version after China vetoed it and opposed authorization for the use of force, diplomats said.

Efforts by Bahrain, which is currently the chairman of the 15-member Security Council, have included several projects aimed at overcoming opposition from China, Russia and other countries.

The latest version seen by Reuters removes any express authorization to use force.

Instead, the text "urges states interested in using commercial sea lanes in the Strait of Hormuz to coordinate defensive efforts, as appropriate, to help ensure the safety of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz," a vital energy artery closed to Tehran because of the war waged by Israel and the United States.(Reuters, AFP)

Trump warns he won't forget lack of NATO support

In my mind, it will never go away."

"They're going to come to me on Wednesday. They're going to say 'oh, we're going to do this, we're going to do that.' Now all of a sudden they want to send good," Trump said, referring to an upcoming visit to the White House by Mark Rutte, the alliance's secretary general, whom he described as a "wonderful man" and a "great man."The meeting with Ruti comes after Trump once again threatened to pull his country out of the alliance over limited support for the war against Iran.

During an event held at the White House a few hours ago, the US president was asked if he was considering withdrawing the country from the organization."You will see that very soon. NATO has not reached that level, and NATO should be ashamed of itself."Trump then again described the organization as a "paper tiger" and attacked other allies, including South Korea, Japan and Australia, for not supporting passage through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which was partially closed by Tehran after the start of the war.(EFE, AFP)
