Japan calls for utmost restraint from Iran in conflict with Israel

Japan calls for utmost restraint from Iran in conflict with Israel

not likely.

The full responsibility for this lays with Israel, all but the most biased observers can see this.

Nobody expects Iran to sit on it's hands while Israel pounds it from the air.

Agree

“Utmost restraint from Iran”? Uh, did Japan just sleep through the part where Israel launched the first strikes?

WHAT exactly are they asking Iran to do - just sit there and take it up the bum while Israel fires off missiles and keeps leeching billions from U.S. taxpayers every year like it's a birthright? Israel provokes, escalates, and drags the world into its endless messes, and yet it's Iran being told to “show restraint”?

And WHAT exactly does Israel give back? No strategic gain, no loyalty, no gratitude - just endless demands, massive political headaches, and an ever-growing bill in the billions footed by Americans... and by extension, Japan.

Wise words, which will probably be lost in the macho posturing.

Israel start and keep attacking Iran, Gaza and asking restraint from Iran? What kind of hypocrisy is it?

Iwaya said any action that could further escalate the situation

LOL, Ishiba has got to fold and retire. Seriously? Is there anything higher in the escalators scale than seeking nukes??? Japan needs new political nous in charge.

If Japan wants de-escalation, it would offer the Mullahs asylum immediately. The Baha'is are pooling their money right now all over the middle east. They want Mullahs blood!!! And they've been waiting a long time.

Iran is finished, KAPUT. New Persia in 2025.

You pound a sovereign country then ask them not to fight back? I'm no fan of Iran, but to attack them because they pose a threat at some point in the future is insane. So why don't we attack Russia or America then? Either of them could start WW3.

Isreal is becoming the Russia of the middle east - attacking its neighbours with shocking disregard for civilian life. Yes, Iranian missiles have killed people, but you don't stop them by becoming a monster.

Who was Netanyahu in a past life? Hitler? Could be! Hitler died in 1945. Netanyahu was born a few years later!

Isn't there anything we can do to stop this monster?

but to attack them because they pose a threat at some point in the future

Get back under that rock please...I'm going to regret my 1 minute but have you ignored Oct7th, shipping attacks...explicit threat to wipe Israel off the face of the earth...

Troll a lot?? Troll a bit?? Sigh...brain damage disguised as a Troll.

It's not a war against Iran, but rather a military operation against all their facilities and individuals now busy pursuing nuclear weapons in defiance of the IAEA etc.

LDP just worried about oil prices before the elections.

They don't care about people.

Isn't there anything we can do to stop this monster?

You must be talking about the Ayatollah. There are cartoons on Chinese social media depicting the Ayatollah's nose as a gas pump nozzle (that's all the Chiese see ziran as, a gas bowser), yet Iran still happily accepts ineffective Chinese missiles that has been going rogue and killing civilian as we type.

They opened up the latest barrage during daylight hours for a change of pace.

An hour or so ago, Tehran struck the headquarters of a certain spy agency near Tel Aviv.

Still some big hits going on.

He's right, though. If Iran doesn't restrain itself and simply let itself be struck repeatedly by Israel and its leader (who is simply trying to avoid being tried for war crimes), then Japan will look even worse for continuing to import oil from the Iyatollah.

Japan asking for restraint from the victim rather than the aggressor. Very strange position for Japan to take.

True Leadership is taking the toughest decisions to address the truly most crucial difficult problems.

Iran's nuclear weapons program is just that, and finally being addressed, as just kicking the can down the road would be the ultimate failure in leadership.

This targeted military operation is limited in scope and unrelated to the people of Iran or the country writ large.

Entire world, especially the people of Iran, will be the beneficiaries of a far safer and more peaceful world as a result of the current leadership in the US and Israel.

Just checked...for Shimon.

Iran/Persia dates back to the Paleolithic age.

Israel ?.....hmm around 1947/8

Shimon also forgets the decades long blockade of Gaza by Israel, the occupation of the West Bank ans a million other sins.

Get back under the rock yourself, Mr. Shill.

One thing is certain, Iran's nuclear facilities are going to be bombed back into the Stone Age, starting any time.

Thus, ANYONE with common sense should get as FAR away from ANY Iranian military/nuclear targets ASAP, as who knows how much radiation will be released as result

Iran/Persia will outlive Israel, the US and all the NATO states.

They have time, dont need nukes.

Long live Iran. !

Birthplace of human civilisation.

Israel ? Hmmm.....a veritable foetus in the area, yet to develop into civilised form

Hope....Israel bombed the equivalent of the Iranian BBC building.....should news readers run away too ?

There is no safe location in Tehran, as many Iranian military facilities are embedded within civilian population centers, so heed Trump's call to evacuate ASAP

Targeted military operations never perfect, collateral damage to ensue, especially if tactical nukes needed to destroy most hardened underground nuclear facilities

Let's hope leadership in Tehran comes to its senses ASAP, as this death and destruction about to ensue is avoidable and unnecessary, as the outcome, ending the nuclear weapons program will be exactly the same.

Iran can have civilian nuclear power, just not enrichment, just like most countries with nuclear power = not BIG Ask!

Nuclear facilities are deep inside mountains.

Some nuclear facilities are deep, some not so deep, so case by case, but surely the targeting intel is top notch, SpaceX satellites playing a huge role, etc.

Leadership of Iran was apparently sold on this TACO campaign by the US media, regarding bond markets...

One thing's certain, Trump's not thinking about Ishiba or Ukraine, as permanently ending the Iranian weapons program has always been #1 on his 'Foreign' To Do List

What a bizarre request.

Israel attacked Iran.

Question for our resident military experts (I hope you're reading Desert Tortoise):

Is it practical for the IAF to fly their F15s, F16s and F35s 1,900km+ to Iran, conduct their attacks deep inside the country, then fly 1,900km back again utilising just seven (ancient) air-to-air 707 tankers?

Or is it more likely that they are using America's Forward Operating Bases at Al-Harir and Al Asad?

Bibi with his war mongers attacked and killed more than 20 Iranian officials during Friday attack, and still doing so till this afternoon.

If this was the case with any NATO members WW3 would be well on it's way by now.

The Japanese are now having to sing from the same choirbook as the other members of the international "G(aslighters) 7". Meanwhile, we are not fooled. Millions of us believe a very different narrative of the aggression from America's cat's paw.

Once the dust settle and Israel has abandon the Muslim polar world you will find Iran was never going to require nuclear weapons. It was a decoy for Israel to strike first given Iran the opportunity to bomb the living daylights out of Israel without getting offside with real world democracies and in doing so destroy their economy and their will to stay in the Palestine. The majority of Israel population will desert knowing that they are on a losing side and face a compulsive draft. Their population knows they can find safe haven and welcome arms wide in the USA. It is obvious not one country is crying for Israel and one who are not UK and France are showing token support only to keep their convective voters on side. This is my opinion but I have this uncanny nack of getting it right on these issue. When 07/10 occurred I was the only one on this forum supporting the Palestinians and I was called anti semitic and my posts were always pull and suspension follow. Today my opinions the exactly the same and receive thumps up and little opposition. Call my a idiot now but those doubter will find I am correct.

Bibi closed all exit ports Air, Land and Sea so Israeli citizens can't FLEE the war, he claimed that he needed to move all civilian aircraft outside Israel to limit damage when in reality all he was after was to prevent Israeli's from fleeing while he and his gangs are hiding under 20 meters of concrete bunkers , even the bunkers that were built to protect civilians are falling apart under Iranian missiles.

I'm with Iran on this one !

Israel has overstepped the line !!

Iran is being asked for the UTMOST restraint!!!! Did anyone say that to Isreal when it went into Gaza or was it “they have the right to defend themselves” press releases. Did anyone else say to Ukraine after being attacked for the “UTMOST RESTRAINT”? Anyone?

Im not sure but it’s as though we are giving isreal consent to do what ever it wants…. Knowing that NOBOdY is going to do a darn thing. Isreal clearly got a nod from the U.S. so Isreal flew over how many countries?

Sorry but Isreal appears to do what it likes with impunity. I think I can understand why the Arabs are upset at everything. But that goes all the way back to the Ottoman Empire when they were thrown under the bus, and the west reneged on its promises.

Iran HAS been exercising the utmost restraint for DECADES, while Japan has been siding with those harassing and poking and prodding and tripping and spitting on it.

It even exercised the utmost restraint in responding to Israel's slaps in the face.

But there comes a point where fighting back just a forcefully as the person attacking you IS restraint.

One wonders if the responses of the Japanese government is because of unacknowleged shame that it has failed to do ANYTHING about all the Crimes Against Humanity of the Israeli regime.

Obama gave the Iranians the green light to build nuclear weapons. Israel is trying to clean up that mistake, just like Trump is trying to clean up Biden's open border mistake. (8-)

No condemnation? No sanction? "What Israel did is considered an act of terrorism. Illegal under UN charter." Quote, before their PM accuse me of antisemitism.

They better pray for restraint,these ,G7 countries beside the US is vulnerable to radical islam retaliation

Jews are fleeing is mass in Israel by boat,they will not be safe anywhere
