Iran may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Several institutions, including the Islamic Republic's parliament, are urgently considering this issue, Press TV reported, citing Tasnim.

According to the channel, Tehran has begun considering this option after the attacks on nuclear facilities.

On March 28, Iran announced for the third time that the United States and Israel had attacked the Bushehr nuclear power plant. The IAEA noted that no damage to the reactor or radiation release was detected.

A day earlier, the Islamic Republic reported strikes on the Erdekan uranium concentrate production complex and the Khondab heavy water production complex. No casualties or radioactive material was reported after the attack, and no release of radioactive material was reported outside the facility.

Iranian authorities have allowed 20 Pakistani-flagged ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said in X.

“I am happy to share the good news that the Iranian government has agreed to allow 20 more Pakistani-flagged ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Two ships will pass through the strait daily,“ he wrote.

Following the US and Israeli military operation against Iran on February 28, Iran announced a halt to trade in the Strait of Hormuz. Up to 20% of the world's oil and over 30% of its liquefied natural gas pass through this waterway. On March 25, the Islamic Republic allowed ships from friendly countries: Russia, India, Pakistan and China, to pass through the strait. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted that Tehran “sees no reason to allow adversaries to use the strait“.

The Financial Times earlier reported that Tehran had issued a letter stating that “non-hostile ships“ could pass through the Strait of Hormuz “in coordination with Iranian authorities“.

On March 26, US President Donald Trump announced that Iran had allowed 10 Pakistani-flagged oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The American leader noted that this was a signal of Tehran's reliability.
