Iranian missiles attacked the U.S. Army in Iraq on Wednesday, in retaliation for Iranian general Qasem Soleimani's assassination at the order of President Donald Trump, raising concerns and fears in the world of military escalation capabilities.

Trump's announcement that the United States will react with more difficult economic sanctions to attack and not be received by the Japanese government.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed support for the United States "moderate response," report Kyodo.

Abe emphasizes that Japan has called on both sides of little action, which is why it supports the measured position performed by the US government.

Tensions between Iran and the United States brought Japan in a difficult situation, according to Kyodo, as it had to strike a balance between the Iranian friendly relations and its security alliance with the Americans.

Japan depends on the Middle East in about 90% of its imported oil. (International press)
