In an unexpected decision, the United Nations has reinstated sanctions against Iran revolving around concerns regarding their nuclear program. This move followed extensive talks among diplomatic representatives. The impact on global relations and Japan's role in the issue are yet to be fully understood.

Japan has maintained a cautious approach towards nuclear weapon development following its past experiences. As a pillar of moral responsibility and an advocator of peaceful approaches internationally, Japan follows these kinds of sanctions intensely. The reimplementation of sanctions aligns with Japan’s dedication to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

In contrast to the US or EU, which often proactively enforce or endorse sanctions, Japan tends to take on a more diplomatic and reserved stance, striving to be a mediator. They show a strong interest in promoting dialogue and peaceful negotiation.
