02.04.2026 ⇢ The Day Trump Threatened Iran's Stone Age
⌨
Japanese editors began the day reporting on NASA's successful Artemis 2 launch, framing it as a milestone in U.S.-China space competition. This focus shifted decisively in the evening as President Trump's televised address on Iran dominated coverage. Multiple outlets reported his announcement of continued military operations over the next 2-3 weeks, his claim of "overwhelming victory," and his threat to return Iran to the "Stone Age." The immediate economic impact followed, with editors reporting a sharp drop in the Nikkei average and a surge in crude oil futures. Coverage continued into the next day analyzing the lack of an exit strategy and the policy's contribution to a record trade deficit.
