South Korea Weighs Strait of Hormuz Deployment

“South Korea is reviewing a possible military deployment to the Strait of Hormuz, as the country comes under pressure from Donald Trump’s White House to contribute to security in the Middle East,” the Financial Times reports.

“South Korea’s presidential Blue House said it was considering various options including dispatching a warship to the strait. Trump criticised Seoul last month as he announced an eleventh-hour reduction to military drills with South Korea, saying it had refused to support the U.S. war against Iran.”
