Japan to dispatch its SDF to the Strait of Hormuz, not joining U.S coalition
On Friday, the Japanese government said that it will not join the United States (U.S) coalition to guard shipments passing the Strait of Hormuz. Instead of joining the U.S and friends, Japan is going to dispatch its own Self Defense Force (SDF) to guard oil shipment from Iran to Japan.The Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, stated that Tokyo and Washington will cooperate to guard oil shipments. The call for coalition rings even louder when the world’s biggest oil facility in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Aramco, was attacked. The U.S and Saudi Arabia blamed Iran for the attack in spite of Yemen’s claim.
Japan and Iran have been close to each other because the Asian nation relies heavily on Iran for oil import. Therefore, to maintain relations, Japan decided not to join the U.S-led coalition.
Furthermore, Japan, as the U.S and Iran’s ally, plays the mediator role for both countries. Since the U.S withdrew from the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal and imposed rounds of economic sanctions on Tehran instead, the U.S and Iran have been at each other’s throat and hold no diplomatic relations whatsoever.
However, the U.S really wants Japan to join its coalition. In mid-June, two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman, one of which was Japanese-flagged. Washington blamed Iran for that and urged Japan to join the coalition.
Suga said that Japan initially plans to dispatch warships to the Gulf of Oman, the Northern Arabian Sea, and nearby waters for intel purposes. The Strait of Hormuz is not included in the list. Regarding the time of the dispatch, Suga did not drop any hint.
While the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, wants to expand Japan’s military role, Japan still adheres to the postwar pacifist constitution. It limits the use of military force to self-defense only.
