According to the Persian report of ISNA, Shigeru Ishiba on Friday condemned the Israeli regime’s attack on Iran and pledged to work with other G7 members to help de-escalate tensions in the Middle East.
He stated: “At a time when diplomatic efforts to peacefully resolve the Iranian nuclear issue are ongoing, it is completely unacceptable for Israel to resort to military means. This action is deeply regrettable, and I strongly condemn it.”
Ishiba added: “All actions that could further escalate the situation must be avoided.”
He also noted that Japan’s position on the matter would be presented during the two-day G7 summit, set to begin Monday in Canada.
Japan, a country with limited resources, has traditionally maintained friendly relations with Iran, having long relied on it for crude oil supplies.
