Japan has officially condemned Iran’s recent actions in the Middle East, saying they are making the region more unstable.
Japan’s Foreign Minister, Toshimitsu Motegi, spoke with Qatar’s Prime Minister and warned that Iran’s threats to block the Strait of Hormuz are very serious. This waterway is one of the most important routes for global oil shipments.
Japan also raised concerns after recent attacks linked to Iran damaged civilian and diplomatic areas in nearby countries, including Qatar, and put ships in the region at risk.
Both Japan and Qatar say they want to work together to calm the situation and prevent further conflict, especially to protect global trade and energy supplies.
