Japan May Deploy Minesweepers to Hormuz Post-Ceasefire

Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi has hinted at the potential deployment of Japan's Self-Defence Forces to assist in minesweeping operations in the Strait of Hormuz following a ceasefire between Iran and US-Israeli forces. This decision underscores Japan's commitment to regional stability and energy security, given its significant oil imports from the region.
