Iran Offers to Help Japanese Vessels Navigate Strait of Hormuz Amid Tensions
•Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Tehran's readiness to facilitate passage for Japanese vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
•Araghchi confirmed the Strait is open but noted restrictions for countries involved in attacks against Iran, offering assistance to others.
•Iran seeks a 'complete, comprehensive and lasting end to the war,' not just a ceasefire, demanding guarantees against future attacks and compensation.
•The Iranian minister called the conflict an 'illegal, unprovoked act of aggression' and stated Iran's response is self-defense.
•US President Trump urged countries like Japan, China, and Korea, which heavily rely on the Strait, to get more involved in the situation.
