Strait Of Hormuz On Edge | Japan Eyes Minesweeping Role As Oil Lifeline Faces Threat | VERTEX

One narrow waterway. One global lifeline. Nearly 20% of the world’s oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz—and now, rising tensions are pushing it to the edge. As conflict threatens to leave behind deadly naval mines, Japan faces a critical question: what happens after the guns fall silent? In a rare statement, Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi hints at a possible role—not in war, but in cleanup. With energy security, legal limits, and global pressure colliding, Tokyo walks a dangerous line. Because even in peace, the threat beneath the surface could choke the world’s economy.

  9. Japan should really not get involved. It's between US-Israel and Iran. Let Donny send Americans to do it.

  10. Japan's a good partner. I see a bunch of idiots saying the USA should have not got involved. Iran was led by a bunch of radicals who preached death to America. They were close to having a nuclear weapon. N. Korea taught us to prevent that from happening. Trump did what others were afraid to do
