South Korean President Lee Jae-myung has repeatedly stated that South Korea will not deploy military forces to the Middle East, specifically the Hormuz Strait, in a manner that would involve participating or intervening in the ongoing conflict. This stance comes despite pressure from the United States and concerns over the safety of South Korean merchant ships and crude oil transport routes. The government is, however, considering expanding its role in protecting navigation through the strait.
