Japan weighs exception to allow nuclear weapons transit in new security documents

Japan's government is reportedly considering a provision in its upcoming fundamental security documents that would permit nuclear weapons to be brought into the country as an exception, potentially revising its long-standing non-nuclear principles. The move, if confirmed, would mark a significant shift in Japan's defense posture and could strain relations with China and domestic opposition. The report originates from TASS, a Russian state outlet, and lacks official Japanese confirmation, so the claim remains unverified.
