South Korea declines military presence in Hormuz
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol confirmed that his country has no intention of deploying military forces or combat assets in the Strait of Hormuz to avoid involvement in a war with Iran. He emphasized that South Korea is committed to a limited principle of protecting ships and oil routes. Meanwhile, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced that they targeted a Togolese-flagged oil tanker in the strait after it attempted to pass illegally, resulting in a fire that forced the vessel to stop. Additionally, a British maritime authority reported that a ship was hit by an unknown projectile. Shipping activity through the strait continues to be reduced, with the number of passing vessels falling below average, amid ongoing tensions in the region.
