Maybe they found a way to work that into their legal framework as well? I’m not an expert on Japanese naval activity which might shock you, but I can read and that’s what their constitution says
Yea they moved on from that a few years back and made appropriate tweaks within their legal framework.
That is how they have been churning out new ships and converting their "helicopter destroyers" into F35 capable light carriers.
They didn't so much as change the constitution as acknowledge that being able to project power into the Pacific and Philippine sea as a counter to China is in fact "self-defense". As far as their maritime work, they have always spun that as defending Japanese trade interests.

An M4 with an Acog and collapsible stock.
Literally the same gun I used in Iraq and Afghanistan. CIA gives no fricks about subtly at this point

NOW — JAPANESE PM SANAE TAKAICHI TO PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Iran's development of nuclear weapons must never be allowed!"
"And that is why we, Japan, have been urging them and also reaching out to other partners in the world."
"In addition, Japan condemns Iran's actions such as attacking the neighboring region and also the de facto or effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz."
"As a matter of fact, my Foreign Minister, had the direct exchange with the Iranian foreign minister and urged Iran to stop such activities."

So exactly what I predicted almost except I thought it would take the marines 3 weeks.
I still am confident we are going to seize it and not give it back becoming in outright name what we already have been for decades, responsible for the free flow of total shipping

It is time to open a path towards de-escalation in order to restore stability in the Middle East.
France calls for the immediate implementation of a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, whether related to water or to energy. Freedom and security of navigation must be restored.
As the region enters a period of religious celebrations and renewal, tempers must cool and hostilities must cease, in order to give a real chance to the prospect of a negotiated and sustainable solution.

BREAKING: NATO SecGen Mark Rutte has just STUNNED the world by coming out in full support of President Trump and DEMANDING that our allies step it up
"What the US is doing at the moment is degrading that capability of Iran, and I think that's VERY important!"
"This is important for European security, for the Middle East, it is vital for Israel itself."
"Then when it comes to the Hormuz trade, everybody agrees this trade cannot stay closed! It HAS to open up again as soon as possible."
"This is a crucial world economy. In my contacts with allies, what I'm seeing is that they are intensely discussing amongst each other, with the United States and amongst each other, the best way forward to tackle this huge security issue."

Was that video angled just right to make the guy on the right look like a Grandmaster Dragon in the KKK?

The IDF says the impacts at Haifa’s oil refineries were caused by falling debris after an Iranian ballistic missile was intercepted, not by a direct strike.
The military stresses there were no direct hits on the facilities in the northern coastal city.
Energy Minister Eli Cohen says the attack caused no significant damage to critical infrastructure.

The strategy: un-sanction 140 million Iranian barrels already on the water, and UNLEASH 10-14 days of supply
"We'd be using the Iranian barrels AGAINST the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of levers!" @RapidResponse47
Trump's all-star team is unmatched
