TOKYO: Japan said Tuesday it has not yet decided whether its military will join efforts to help the resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz after the US-Iran peace deal. US President Donald Trump said that the vital artery for oil and gas would be “completely open” from Friday but added there was still “hunting” going on to ensure the waterway was de-mined. Japan signed onto a joint statement issued Monday by European nations that they were ready for a “defensive and independent mission to reassure commercial shipping and conduct mine clearance operations” in the strait.
