[War] US: Thanks, Japan

[John Penta]

"Thanks, Japan"
7 August 2014
Pres. John Williams
USA
================
<Washington>

"...In summary: SACEUR has ordered all forces attached to AZFOR to
enter Iran, with the assistance of the Iranian forces, to begin
occupation and reconstruction duty. This will last until Iran holds
new elections and signs a peace treaty with Allied Forces. Until then,
the Allied Control Council, with the assistance of the civilian
government, will be running Iran and directing the reconstruction
process," Williams announced. "Azerbaijan has been freed. As such,
Operation Caspian Sword has come to a successful conclusion. Operation
Lion Restoration begins as of 8 August 2014."

"At this point, I would like to thank the nations who contributed
forces to Caspian Sword, but particularly deserving of note is the
contribution of Japan. In firing Japan's first shots in anger since
World War II, I know that Prime Minister Sato took a deep risk -- a
risk for which the United States extends its gratitude. Also, we would
like to thank Japan for being the intermediary in, and helping in many
ways to arrange, the negotiations which led to the Iranian
surrender..."

The President went on to thank other Allied nations for their help and
sacrifices.
