Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said on Monday that she welcomes a U.S.-Iran peace deal “as a major step toward bringing the situation to a close.” 
“I strongly hope that the memorandum will be steadily implemented, that free and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz will be effectively secured, and that a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear issue and other outstanding matters will be reached as soon as possible,” she posted on social media platform X. 
Takaichi said the agreement is “the result of the parties’ commitment to a diplomatic solution and their persistent efforts in negotiations,” and commended “the efforts of the countries that have played a mediating role throughout this process.” 
Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said in a statement that Japan “will continue to make every diplomatic effort toward the realization of peace and stability throughout the Middle East region” in close coordination with the international community. 
Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said at a news conference that if the memorandum is steadily implemented, the Japanese and world economy will see reduced downside risks. 
Asked about the possibility that Japan will send Self-Defense Forces personnel to the Strait of Hormuz, Kihara said, “Nothing has been decided.”
