Iran warns South Korea against involvement in Hormuz
Iran said any South Korean military role in the Strait of Hormuz would support the side it blames for aggression and bring serious consequences.
- On Monday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry warned South Korea against military involvement in US operations in the Strait of Hormuz, stating such participation would have "serious consequences."
- Seoul reported on Friday it was considering "contributions" to US security efforts in the strategic waterway, provided such involvement would not compromise its own military readiness.
- Tehran has largely controlled the Strait of Hormuz since the outbreak of war with the United States on Feb 28, disrupting global energy markets as maritime traffic remains paralyzed.
- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei accused Washington of using "US pressure and intimidation" to push other nations into supporting regional operations.
- Despite an April ceasefire, negotiations between Iran and the United States have stalled, and both nations continue to trade fire in the region, heightening security risks.
