The United States might end up taking over Iran's Kharg Island, President Donald Trump said on Wednesday amid renewed hostilities and the end of the ceasefire.
"We attacked Kharg Island last night. We knocked out a piece, I said: "Don't touch the oil, because maybe we'll take over Kharg Island", and we may take over Kharg Island, and there's not a thing they [Iranians] can do about it," Trump told reporters.
The president noted US forces attacked everything except the islands' energy infrastructure, further adding that strikes on Kharg might resume on the night of Wednesday.

Spokesman for Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee: A renewed US attack will be answered with a change in nuclear doctrine
In any future confrontation, the enemy will face a comprehensive, all-out surprise offensive from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
We have many options available that were not even used during the 40-day war.
Options such as withdrawal from the NPT, changing nuclear doctrine, and closing the Bab al-Mandab Strait alongside the Strait of Hormuz are on the table for review.
A bill for NPT withdrawal is also ready for review in parliament — and if Iran faces an existential threat, a change in nuclear doctrine could also be put on the agenda
