The United States’ airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were a “demonstration of its determination to stop [Iran] from obtaining nuclear weapons while seeking an early solution to the situation,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said Monday.

“Up to now, the United States has been sincerely seeking dialogue [with Iran],” Hayashi added.
