Japan will take measures to prepare for any and all risks as the U.S. and Israeli forces launch strikes on Iran, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said in an X post Saturday.
As an immediate response, the government will work to safeguard Japanese nationals living in the Middle East. With the region’s situation expected to deteriorate further, it will cooperate with related countries to minimize the impact on the economy and security.
On Saturday night, the government held a National Security Council meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office, attended by Takaichi, Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi and others, to discuss future measures.
