Foreign Ministers Abbas Araghchi of Iran and Toshimitsu Motegi of Japan have discussed the ongoing efforts to end the US-Israel war on Iran and open the Strait of Hormuz in a telephone conversation, according to Al Jazeera.
Araghchi “explained to his Japanese counterpart the latest situation in the diplomatic process aimed at establishing regional peace and stability”, a statement on his Telegram channel says.
“The parties emphasised the need for continued coordination and joint cooperation to eliminate insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz,” it adds.
Japan relies on the strait for more than 90 per cent of its crude oil imports.
