22.06.2025 ⇢ Day Trump Bombs Iran Nuclear Sites

⌨Trump announced overnight that US forces had "successfully attacked" three Iranian nuclear facilities, escalating the Middle East crisis that had dominated Japanese coverage for days. By early morning, he declared the sites "obliterated" and stated America had entered war with Iran. Iran responded by launching missiles at Israel, marking a shift from Israeli-Iranian exchanges to direct US-Iran conflict.

Japanese media reported 83.7% of citizens worried about daily life impacts from the Middle East war, reflecting concerns about oil supplies. Prime Minister Ishiba avoided explicitly supporting the US attacks when questioned.

Domestically, the Liberal Democratic Party suffered a major defeat in Tokyo assembly elections, with Tomin First reclaiming its position as the largest party. Exit polls showed record-low results for Ishiba's party, signaling trouble ahead of July's House of Councillors race where his minority government seeks to regain majority control.
