A former Japanese national security adviser urged Tokyo to deploy warships to the Strait of Hormuz to jointly secure the critical waterway alongside allied nations, even without a prior ceasefire. The proposal aims to protect both Japanese and international vessels amid escalating tensions in the region, reflecting concerns over maritime security and energy supply routes. Akihisa Nagashima, speaking in Tokyo, emphasized the need for proactive measures rather than waiting for diplomatic resolutions to materialize first. The Strait of Hormuz remains a strategic chokepoint, with Iran’s influence and regional conflicts posing risks to global oil shipments and trade flows. Japan’s potential involvement signals a shift toward more assertive defense policies amid broader geopolitical instability in the Middle East.
