West tensions against Iran worse than quake for Japan - Nobuo Tanaka

 

Former executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) says Western tensions against Iran could hit Japan with an economic impact greater than that from the March 2011 earthquake, Press TV reports.

Speaking at an event in Washington sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Nobuo Tanaka said Japan will be hard hit if the tensions against Iran curb the supply of liquefied natural gas while Japan's nuclear fleet is shut.
