Seoul: US cancels drills over Iran
The United States has canceled joint amphibious exercises with South Korea that were scheduled for next month, due to limitations in American forces affected by the ongoing war with Iran and the high costs of the exercises. The South Korean Marine Corps spokesman explained that the U.S. military informed South Korea in June that their ability to deploy forces would be limited this year, amid efforts to scale back joint military activities. This suspension comes amid diplomatic talks between Washington and Seoul, and while the United States is busy reviving its relations with North Korea, whose nuclear programs have intensified since the 2019 Hanoi summit.
