Prime Minister Takaichi: 'I will refrain from a legal assessment' on the US-Israel attack on Iran

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi refrained from providing a legal assessment of the US and Israel's military action against Iran during a budget committee meeting.

During a budget committee session on the 2nd, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi addressed inquiries regarding the recent military attacks by the US and Israel on Iran. She stated that she does not possess detailed information to determine whether these actions constitute self-defense, and thus, the Japanese government would refrain from making a legal assessment. This remark came in response to a question from Communist Party leader Tomoko Tamura, who emphasized the importance of respecting the sovereignty of nations and the prohibition of the use of force as fundamental principles of international law.
