South Korea weighs military options for Strait of Hormuz, no decision yet
–
Neutral summary
South Korea's presidential office said it is reviewing practical options, including possible military measures, to support freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, but denied that a decision on deployment has been made. Local media reported that the government has drawn up plans to send a naval logistics support ship and Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, and is preparing to seek parliamentary approval, possibly this month. The move comes amid pressure from US President Donald Trump over Seoul's lack of support for the war with Iran. Military experts say maritime surveillance, logistics support and mine-clearing operations could be the most practical roles for Korean forces, allowing Seoul to contribute while limiting the risk of direct involvement in the conflict.
