26.06.2025 โข Day Hiroshima Echoes Return
โจTrump's comparison of his Iran strikes to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki dominated morning coverage, representing a particularly sensitive reference in Japanese media discourse. The comparison appeared across multiple outlets as the president announced negotiations with Iran would resume next week.
Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei initially maintained silence after the combat ended, then issued a statement claiming the United States gained nothing from the strikes. This response followed the established pattern from previous days of Iranian defiance after American attacks.
Domestic politics revealed deepening fractures within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party ahead of July's Upper House elections. A Nikkei survey found 40% of LDP candidates support consumption tax cuts, directly contradicting party leadership positions. The party secretary-general publicly emphasized crisis concerns about the election outcome.
Japan's shipbuilding industry consolidated as Imabari Shipbuilding announced it would acquire majority control of Japan Marine United, aiming to compete against Chinese and Korean rivals.

Regional labor dynamics face disruption as border restrictions between Thailand and Cambodia affect 1.2 million migrant workers in construction, plantations, and fisheries, impacting both economies (Nikkei Asia). Military developments continue with Britain acquiring twelve nuclear-capable fighter aircraft (Yahoo News Japan) while NATO's approach to Trump involves strategic flattery rather than addressing substantive policy questions (The Japan Times).

โจThe newspapers report on Trump's controversial justification of U.S. strikes against Iran by comparing them to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Huffington Post Japan, Kyodo News English). This comparison appears in Japanese media as negotiations with Iran are set to resume next week according to the U.S. president (Yahoo News Japan). NATO's new spending arrangements establish standards that extend beyond Europe to Indo-Pacific allies, suggesting expanded defense coordination expectations (The Japan Times). The atomic bomb analogy represents a particularly sensitive reference point in Japanese discourse, given the country's unique position as the only nation to experience nuclear attacks.

โจThe newspapers report on deepening fractures within Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party ahead of July's Upper House elections. A Nikkei survey reveals 40% of LDP candidates support consumption tax cuts, directly contradicting the party's official platform that avoids tax reduction promises to preserve social security funding (Nikkei Shimbun). The party's secretary-general publicly emphasized crisis concerns about the election outcome (Yahoo News Japan). This internal discord on fiscal policy extends to deficit spending, with 30% of LDP candidates accepting increased bond issuance despite official fiscal restraint positions. The splits suggest the party leadership faces significant grassroots pressure to abandon conservative economic positions as the July 20 vote approaches.

โจThe newspapers report on Japan's shipbuilding industry consolidation and Iran's response to U.S. strikes. Imabari Shipbuilding, Japan's largest shipbuilder, announced it will acquire majority control of second-ranked Japan Marine United by increasing its stake to 60% from the current 30% (Nikkei Shimbun). The move aims to strengthen cost competitiveness against Chinese and Korean rivals through enhanced cooperation in ship development and procurement. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei issued a statement claiming the United States gained nothing from its recent strikes (Yahoo News Japan). This follows Trump's controversial comparison of the Iran attacks to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which continues to receive coverage in Japanese media (Huffington Post Japan, Kyodo News English).

โจThe newspapers report on U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent announcing G7 agreement to exclude America from the international minimum corporate tax framework, with the U.S. withdrawing its proposed "retaliation tax" under Internal Revenue Code Section 899 (Nikkei Shimbun). This represents a significant shift in international tax coordination efforts. Regional security dynamics continue evolving as China and Russia remained on the sidelines during Iran's search for allies amid the ongoing conflict, blurring Beijing's multipolar vision under what analysts term the "Trump doctrine" (Nikkei Asia). Domestic concerns focus on the Tokara Islands experiencing over 400 earthquakes, with media examining the causes behind this seismic swarm (Yahoo News Japan). Trump's earlier comparison of Iran attacks to atomic bombings continues receiving coverage (Huffington Post Japan).

โจThe newspapers report on significant political developments following Tokyo gubernatorial elections and ongoing U.S.-Japan trade tensions. Governor Koike Yuriko achieved a major victory while the Sanseito party's advance emerged as the most noteworthy development, with the LDP and Komeito suffering defeats despite expectations of an Ishimaru surge that failed to materialize (Japan Business Press). Trade friction intensifies as Japan's chief negotiator departed for Washington reiterating that the 25 percent U.S. auto tariffs remain unacceptable (Kyodo News English). The Komeito party announced a 20,000 yen cash payment proposal for their Upper House election platform (Yahoo News Japan). These domestic political shifts occur alongside the earlier G7 agreement excluding U.S. companies from international minimum corporate tax frameworks.
