Unease in Japan after Trump cites Pearl Harbor to defend Iran war - Al Jazeera
Overview
President Donald Trump's invocation of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack to justify secrecy before launching the Iran war provoked embarrassment, confusion and unease across Japan, with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi offering a muted response. The cabinet's recent decision to lift the lethal-weapons export ban shows Takaichi is shifting Japan's security posture in response to international pressures, amplifying domestic debates and adding a new dimension to strains in the U.S.–Japan relationship.
