Market Chatter: Japan Weighs Self-Defense Mission to Hormuz

MT Newswires Live

Jun 16

Japan is considering deploying Self-Defense Forces (SDF) for minesweeping and escort operations in the Strait of Hormuz following the recent U.S.-Iran peace deal, Nikkei Asia reported on Monday, citing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

While Takaichi welcomed the agreement and stressed the need for proper implementation, the news daily reported that the government is struggling to build support at home for any potential military mission in the region.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said no decision has been made on dispatching the SDF to the Strait of Hormuz, the publication added.

Due to constitutional restrictions under Article 9, Japan has long maintained that overseas troop deployment is generally not permitted, the report noted.

As a result, the government now faces a domestic challenge in securing public and political support for such an operation.
