The South Korean government is considering the possibility of providing military support to the Strait of Hormuz at the request of the United States. If deployed, ways to minimize changes in the security posture of the Korean Peninsula are being explored, and various options such as non-combat and search operations, as well as combat participation, may be considered. Currently, no concrete plan has been finalized, and consultations with the National Assembly have not yet begun. The South Korea-US security negotiations are facing difficulties due to the Hormuz dispatch issue, and are also related to other issues such as semiconductor investment.
