Japan Condemns Iran Nuclear Program, Stays Quiet on US Attack

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi condemned Iran’s nuclear program in a carefully worded response that avoided commenting on whether Tokyo supported Washington’s strike on Tehran.

“We are working closely with the relevant countries and responding as necessary, including by gathering information on the situation,” Takaichi said Monday. “Our consistent stance has been that the development of nuclear weapons by Iran must not be allowed.”
