US-Iran War: 2026-04-03

Chinese satellite images indicate that the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has moved to over 1,100 km from the Iranian coast, now operating near Salalah in Oman. The USS Gerald R. Ford has also moved south into the Red Sea off Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. CENTCOM earlier denied Iranian claims that the two carriers had withdrawn from the Arabian Sea.

The B1 Bridge on the Karaj Northern Bypass in western Tehran was targeted in a US and/or Israeli strike, amid an uptick in joint strike operations announced by President Trump last night. The strike is part of ongoing infrastructure targeting campaign.
