South Korea announced on Tuesday, May 4, that following a request from Donald Trump, the President of the United States, for Seoul to participate in operations in the Strait of Hormuz after an attack attributed to the Islamic Republic on one of its ships, it will "review its position on joining U.S. operations in the Strait of Hormuz."

The South Korean Ministry of Defense stated that it will "carefully examine its position," but did not make any commitment to change it.

The ministry announced that Seoul will assess its position based on international law, the safety of international maritime routes, its alliance with the United States, and the security situation on the Korean Peninsula. The country added that it has "actively participated in international discussions on cooperation to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz."
