Japan's stock market indexes traded higher on Monday, reversing losses from the previous session, as investors overlooked escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Iran and Israel traded missile attacks, as both sides targeted key military and nuclear infrastructures, amid mounting casualties.
Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for crude oil, driving the oil prices higher in Asian and European trading.
Investors awaited the release of rate decisions from the Bank of Japan at the end of a two-day meeting on Tuesday.
The central bank is widely expected to hold rates amid worries of higher inflation stoked by the Middle East tensions and uncertainty related to U.S. tariffs.
