Today, President Pezeshkian and Prime Minister Takaichi engaged in their second phone consultation since April 8, 2026. Upon close coordination between the two governments, the safe passage of the Idemitsu Maru through the Strait of Hormuz, demonstrates the high level of respect Iran holds for constructive actions in bilateral relations—even those dating back 73 years, bravely conducted by the Nissho Maru—and its desire to respond with reciprocity.
In fact, were it not for the illegal war of aggression inflicted by the American and Israeli regimes against the Iranian nation, their weaponization of the Strait of Hormuz into a war zone, and their current persistence of threats, conditions could have been entirely different.
