Iran warns South Korea not to participate in military operations in Strait of Hormuz

(Central News Agency, Tehran, comprehensive foreign news report on the 7th) Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned South Korea today not to conduct military deployments in the Strait of Hormuz or participate in US operations, otherwise it will face "serious consequences."

Agence France-Presse reported that after the war between the United States and Iran on February 28, the strategically important Strait of Hormuz was generally controlled by Tehran. The South Korean government said on the 4th that it was considering "contributing" to U.S. security operations in the strait.

The South Korean government said it would consider taking this action without affecting its military readiness, but it has not yet made a decision.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei warned South Korea today not to succumb to "U.S. pressure and threats."

He posted on the social media platform

Although Iran and the United States reached a ceasefire agreement in April, which brought an end to the fierce bombing in the early stages of the war, the two sides continued to exchange fire in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding areas, and negotiations for control of the strait have also reached a deadlock.
