Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is likely to visit Japan this month for talks on the situation in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, it was learned Sunday from diplomatic sources.
Tehran and Tokyo have been making final arrangements for Zarif to visit in the later part of this month for talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Foreign Minister Taro Kono, according to the sources. He last visited Japan in May.
Iran is expected to communicate its position of opposing a U.S.-led coalition to protect shipping in the strait from Iranian military forces.
