This essay examines the true strategic meaning behind President Trump’s naval blockade measures targeting Iran-bound maritime traffic and Iranian ports, arguing that Japan’s old media, including NHK and Asahi Shimbun, fail to explain their anti-China implications.
Focusing on Iran, China, Russia, the issue of MANPADS transfers, and the duty of a U.S. president to protect American troops, it sharply criticizes the distortion of facts by legacy media.

A report has just come in on X saying that President Trump has announced U.S. naval blockade measures targeting Iran-bound maritime traffic and Iranian ports.
This report is probably true.
Those who do nothing but watch Japan’s old media, including NHK and Asahi Shimbun, are surely unable to understand at all the meaning of Trump’s statement—that is, Trump’s intention.
Those who watch Yukihiro Hasegawa’s channel on YouTube understand it instantly.
Even if the old media, including NHK and Asahi, did understand President Trump’s intention—and the possibility that they do is extremely low, because it is no exaggeration to say that their information sources consist only of anti-Trump media—they would never report on it on the basis of facts.
That is because every one of them is pro-China and trapped in China’s snare.
President Trump’s decision to announce U.S. naval blockade measures targeting Iran-bound maritime traffic and Iranian ports is a hammer blow against the vicious and underhanded China.
What those who merely watch old media such as NHK and Asahi know nothing about is the unmistakable fact that China is transporting the following weapon into Iran.
A man-portable air-defense system, or MANPADS/MPADS, also called a portable surface-to-air missile system, is a surface-to-air missile system that can be carried by a single person.
It is often fired from the shoulder by an individual.
It is a guided weapon that poses a threat to low-flying aircraft, especially helicopters.
As Mr. Hasegawa points out, a president of the United States absolutely does not overlook or tolerate matters that affect the lives of his country’s soldiers.
He also makes clear that the only exception was the folly of Biden.
Iran is a member of the “axis of evil” together with China and Russia.
The reason old media, beginning with NHK, continue pro-Iran, anti-Trump—that is, anti-American—coverage is that Iran is an ally of China.
They are truly a contemptible and despicable crowd.
NHK is in effect Japan’s state broadcaster, which makes the matter all the worse.
It is no longer remotely permissible for the Liberal Democratic government to continue overlooking and tacitly approving the present mode of NHK reporting.
That is because what they are doing is nothing other than traitorous reporting.
It is no exaggeration at all to call it reporting by enemies of the nation.
