Will Japan tell NATO countries to stop arming Ukraine?

Obviously not, silly question. Defending against an invading force is the right of all sovereign nations. Invading your peaceful neighbors is not.
Iran will obviously not stop arming terrorist Russia, thats what it does, arm terrorists. But it will be hearing from a responsible nation with a constitution built around peace and non violence, as opposed to hearing from the west. This in itself may give them reason to pause for thought on what they are doing.
Ukraine will not forget those who assist Russia in its ongoing invasion attempt. Sooner or later Ukraine's voice will turn against Iran when the invasion is over, and may even prompt them to actively assist in more concrete terms any future moves against Iran. Revenge is sweet and all that.

Japan tells Iran to do what?
To stop doing what?
Sending weapons to Russia?
For what ?
To kill Ukrainians?
Did Fujimori say that?

The idea of Japan, even hosting delegate from a known terrorist state that is helping Russia to commit war crimes. It’s a little bit upsetting. Just saying.

Japan, just like any sovereign country, is free to meet/not meet any other country it wants/not want, just do not be a hypocrite, about things/justifications etc, etc.

i hope you don’t seriously believe this.

It is the truth, many know this. Dont tell me you DON'T believe it?

No, of course not. Japan supports Ukraine because it is being invaded and not invading others.
Iran is ‘prolonging the war’ by supplying arms to Putin. I thought our Putin supporters were against that because they want ‘peace’?

To be honest, Iran does have sovereign right to sell "legal" weapons, which is anything but the nuclear, chemical, or biological, and rockets and artillery shells fall in legal weapons category.

Ukraine has every right to resist its fascist invader. Also Iran is nowhere near Ukraine or Israel for that matter.

The power plants and grain silos are not combusting of their own accord.

The US is a recognized nuclear state under the NPT. Iran is not and so it is perfectly acceptable for the world to sanction it to death until it reverses course.
