Rare nationwide protests in Japan against Iran war

On Wednesday, protests were held across more than 100 locations in Japan, drawing nearly 50,000 people, according to organizers. Initially sparked by opposition to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s plan to revise Article 9, the pacifist clause of Japan’s constitution, the demonstrations have since grown in size and frequency since the Iran war. Critics warn that constitutional change could open the door to involvement in wars abroad. CNN’s Hanako Montgomery reports from Tokyo.
