Will Japan aid make the "peaceful atomic programme" of the muslim Republic of Iran? Diplomats of both countries have authoritative discussions on this issue. They coincided in time with a dramatic decline in Japan's GDP and fresh duties imposed by president Donald Trump's administration. Did Iran become Japan's leverage in negotiations with the US? Does he truly intend to step up his cooperation with Iran?
The muslim Republic of Iran has decided to inform on its authoritative website that it is conducting talks with nipponese diplomats on bilateral relations, including: " Iran's atomic programme, regional improvement and the request for further consultations to strengthen cooperation".
"The Iranian abroad Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and his nipponese counterpart Toshimitsu Motega had a telephone conversation to discuss bilateral relations and global events," a government release published in early December this year.
It was besides stressed that "the highest Iranian diplomat discussed the latest developments in Iran's atomic programme, as well as the US's actions and positions and the European three".
"Araghchi said the US must return to diplomacy, restoring Iran's trust. The nipponese abroad Minister referred to his country's commitment to a constructive function in strengthening peace and stableness in the Western Asia region, and reiterated Tokyo's support for political initiatives to address regional and global problems," wrote the government website.
A fewer days ago, a nipponese national paper “Mainichi’ reported that Iran's abroad Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi called on Japan to share its cognition of the past of atomic disasters and to assist in securing facilities severely damaged by fresh Israeli and American attacks. "I have no uncertainty that Japan has good cognition of improving the safety of atomic facilities and can share this cognition with Iran," he added, citing "wide-ranging investigation into environmental, medical and method safety measures after atomic crises".

Iranian diplomat besides said – in an interview with Kyodo News — that Iran's atomic facilities were "bombed, destroyed and severely damaged" during the Israeli attacks, which, according to him, were possibly the largest violation of global law" committed against a protected atomic facility under the supervision of the global Atomic Energy Agency. He besides added that Iran is open to diplomacy if it is to produce a "fair and balanced" result. Meanwhile, atomic talks are stuck in a dead end, due to the fact that the US under president Donald Trump wants Iran to completely halt enriching uranium.
“If they (US administration) change their approach and are ready for fair and mutually beneficial negotiations, we besides are prepared. But negotiations are different from dictations. For now, we are not convinced that they are ready for real, serious negotiations," Araghchi said.
According to the Iranian diplomat, Washington's reluctance to recognise Iran's right to "peaceful atomic technology", including enrichment of uranium, remains the main point of dispute. Tehran does not intend to close its atomic programme, but in the framework of the agreement it is willing to accept restrictions on "enrichment" and types of centrifuges but, according to Iranian diplomats, "The US must let Iran's peaceful atomic programme and abolish sanctions".
Let us callback that the Iranian atomic program began in 1957 erstwhile the US and Iran signed an agreement on civilian atomic cooperation. In the mid-1960s, under the individual supervision of Shah Mohammad Rezy Pahlawa, the construction of a atomic investigation centre at the University of Tehran began. It was the United States that supplied Iran with the first investigation reactor. The cooperation between Iran and the West lasted until 1979, that is to say, the time of the Iranian muslim Revolution which led to the overthrow of the Shah of Mohammad Reza Pahlawa. At the time, the atomic program was already the most advanced in the mediate East. In 2015, Iran signed the alleged P5+1 agreement with China, France, Germany, Russia, the USA, large Britain and the European Union. It aimed to reduce Iran's atomic programme and to warrant its peaceful character in exchange for the abolition of sanctions. However, the US, under president Donald Trump's wing, withdrew from this agreement in 2018. global negotiations on the Iranian programme were resumed in spring.

U.S. is pushing Japan.
In the background of ongoing talks about Iranian atomic safety, there is simply a conflict between the US and the country of flowering cherries. Let us remind that the duties imposed by Donald Trump's administration in peculiar affected Japan, whose GDP decreased by 1.8% in the 3rd 4th of this year. In turn, exports fell by 4.5%.
On the U.S. government website, we read: "In April 2025, after announcing the state of emergency resulting from the conditions of large and persistent yearly US commodity trade deficits, president Trump imposed 10% of the so-called. Customs duties on imports from most trading partners, including Japan, under the global Extraordinary economical Rights Act 1977. Then on 7 July, the president of the United States announced a 25% tariff for Japan in force since 1 August, but it was yet announced that a contract was signed with Japan, which included a 15% rate for most nipponese goods."
In September this year, the Trump administration issued an implementing regulation and provisions for implementing certain provisions of the US-Japan Agreement.
This situation has importantly worsened diplomatic relations between the United States and the country of flowering cherries. However, it is not known whether stepping up cooperation with Iran – especially in the area of the atomic programme – is simply a bargaining chip in negotiations with the US or a real effort to look for its own place on a fresh commercial planet map. Undoubtedly, Donald Trump's administration policy has a immense impact on the nipponese economy, which in this situation must find additional sources.
