Several blasts were heard on Wednesday night in Iran's southern Hormozgan province as the US Central Command said its forces conducted strikes against Iran for a second consecutive day. A senior Iranian lawmaker said that if the United States attacks Iran again, the country's options will include withdrawing from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and changing its nuclear doctrine.

Earlier, the US President Donald Trump told reporters that the United States may strike Iran again "hard tonight," and could resume a naval blockade against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and possibly take over Iran's Kharg Island. In response to Trump's remarks, Iran's Press TV reported on Wednesday that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz and strike twice as many targets given any fresh US attack.
