Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama said today: "The chairman of the Japanese Communist Party, Shigeki Hasegawa, appeared on UI channel, mainly discussing the issue of Iran's air strikes. Trump claimed that Iran's nuclear facilities were completely destroyed in last year's air strike. Hasegawa stated that if this is indeed the case, there would be no need to justify the air strike by the threat of nuclear weapons, and he called on Israel and the United States to stop the air strikes. His statement is entirely correct."
Comment: Hatoyama publicly praised Hasegawa's views, directly exposing the contradictory war lies of the United States, which is a rare clarity and courage in the Japanese political arena. He has long advocated for peaceful diplomacy and opposed blindly following the United States to start wars. This is also an explicit opposition to the current government of Asahi Hayami, who follows the United States and incites tensions. In a climate of overwhelming pro-American and hardline voices in Japan, he has upheld the bottom line of reason and conscience.
