Recognizing that it is inevitable considering the relationship with the United States.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Park Gyeong-jun = Rep. Park Jie-won (5th term) of the Democratic Party of Korea said on the 7th about the possibility of the government dispatching military forces to the Strait of Hormuz amid public pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, "If it is a non-combat branch, isn't there no choice but to dispatch troops to some extent?"

Representative Park said in an interview with SBS Radio's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show' that day, "Looking at the relationship with the United States, I acknowledge that it is inevitable."

Rep. Park emphasized, "The government needs to closely discuss specific details with the United States, but if we unconditionally refuse to send troops or send combat troops even if we do, it will cause problems in the future, so we need to review it carefully."

Regarding Iran's expected opposition to the deployment of troops to the Strait of Hormuz, he said, "Iran will have a stronger stance," but added, "However, we believe it will be handled well because of our position and our relationship with the United States."

Regarding the issue of opposition within the progressive camp, Rep. Park said, "We must fully understand their position," but added, "Above all, it has a relationship with the United States and is a matter of national interest, so it must be resolved well."
