19.06.2025 ⇢ Day Opposition Abandons Cabinet Challenge

⌨Opposition leader Noda abandoned plans to submit a no-confidence motion against the Ishiba cabinet, citing Middle East instability and ongoing trade negotiations as reasons to avoid political vacuum. This decision cleared the path for July 20 Upper House elections without simultaneous lower house dissolution, which Ishiba had already ruled out.

The Iran-Israel conflict escalated overnight as Israeli forces reportedly attacked Iranian nuclear reactors while Iranian missiles struck hospitals. Japanese media reported 70 nationals evacuated from the region as Self-Defense Force aircraft remained positioned in East Africa.

Nippon Steel Chairman Hashimoto declared the company would "regain supremacy in the world" following the completed U.S. Steel acquisition, calling Trump's approval a "historic decision." Separately, authorities detected 770 million suspicious emails in May, with 80% targeting Japanese users through AI-generated sophisticated phishing attempts aimed at securities account hijacking.
