The United States is requesting that South Korea send military assets to the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with South Korea's insufficient support for the US in matters related to Iran and even demanded weapons support for Ukraine. The South Korean government is reviewing the dispatch of troops to Hormuz, considering domestic public opinion and potential backlash from Iran. Iran warned that it would consider any South Korean military action in the Strait of Hormuz as an act of war. South Korea emphasizes the importance of free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and is considering deployment for defensive purposes aimed at peace and stability. There is a possibility that discussions regarding the Hormuz dispatch will take place during the meeting between President Lee and French President Macron on the 8th.
