South Korea and Macron on Strait security
It was reported by the South Korean Presidential Office that President Lee Jae-myung discussed with French President Emmanuel Macron ways to expand cooperation to ensure the security and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, without mentioning the deployment of military forces. The Ministry of Defense confirmed that a South Korean inspection team was sent to assess the security situation in the area, without making a decision to send troops. This comes after a reduction in military exercises with the United States, due to Seoul’s hesitation to support Washington in its war against Iran, and Iran has requested clarifications regarding South Korea's potential role in the Strait of Hormuz.
