‘Japan won’t pay Iran a ransom to use Hormuz’: Ex-Japanese Government Advisor
In tonight's episode of W News with Leigh-Ann Gerrans, we examine Iran's claim that US attacks violated a ceasefire and Tehran's vow to defend itself, as well as a deadly Iranian attack on Kuwait International Airport.
Security Professor Dr. Patrick Bury and former Special Advisor to the Japanese Prime Minister Dr. Tomohiko Taniguchi discuss the regional implications, including tensions in the Gulf and concerns over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
We also examine Ukrainian drone strikes on St. Petersburg during Russia's flagship economic forum with John Kavulich, Senior Editor at Issue Insight, and discuss arrests linked to the Henry Nowak protest in the UK with former Conservative MP James Sunderland.
