The United States has quietly withdrawn its powerful Typhon missile system from Japan, just months after deploying it to the Iwakuni Air Base. This system had the range to strike major cities in China, North Korea, and even parts of Russia. So why the sudden move? Was it simply a scheduled end to the drills — or political pressure from China and Russia?

With tensions heating up over Taiwan and Japan’s Prime Minister signaling potential military involvement, this withdrawal raises more questions than answers. Meanwhile, the Typhon system remains active in the Philippines, keeping the region on edge.
