Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a travel advisory recommending that Japanese nationals evade and leave Iran due to escalating tensions. No specific reason has been given, but such warnings are typically released amidst concerns over political instability, potential for violence, or natural disasters. It is unclear when the advisory will be lifted.
In Japan, travel advisories from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hold significant weight. Japanese nationals are highly thoughtful and cautious about their safety abroad, as the government’s capacity to intervene in international situations is limited due to the country's pacifist constitution.
Much like Japan, the US and EU also issue travel advisories to their citizens when they perceive potential danger abroad. However, the level of government involvement in assisting citizens in distress situations varies. In the US, the government may conduct emergency evacuation of its nationals, whereas some EU countries may rely more on diplomatic channels and negotiation.
