Japan Suspends Embassy Activities In Azerbaijan Amid Regional Tensions
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) ** BAKU**, ** Azerbaijan**, ** March 2**. The Embassy of Japan in Azerbaijan has suspended its activities for an indefinite term due to the current events in the region, the embassy’s publication on its social media account says, Trend reports.
"The embassy has suspended its activities indefinitely due to the events taking place in the region. Acceptance of visa applications and issuance of ready-made visas have also been suspended. Please note. We apologize for the inconvenience.
For urgent matters, you can write to the email address: [email protected]," the post reads.
Following the 2nd round of nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran on February 17, which ended without progress, the U.S. increased its presence in areas near Iran, deploying over 150 aircraft to bases in Europe and the Middle East.
The escalation follows the 3rd round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States in Geneva on February 26. Held under the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the negotiations were viewed as the final chance to strike a deal diplomatically. However, no agreements were reached, as Tehran refused to halt uranium enrichment, dismantle its nuclear facilities, or accept indefinite restrictions on its nuclear program. Israel launched its airstrikes shortly afterward, with the country’s Defense Minister Katz emphasizing that the operations were preemptive.
In a significant escalation, military airstrikes conducted by Israel and the United States the previous day have reportedly resulted in the deaths of Iran’s Supreme Leader Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several members of his family.
Additionally, several of Iran’s most senior military and security officials were killed in the airstrikes, including Chief of Staff Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Commander-in-Chief Mohammad Pakpour, Supreme Leader adviser and Defense Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani, and Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh.
