Security chief says Seoul is reviewing 'levels of military roles' in U.S.-led Hormuz initiatives

Seoul is reviewing potential military roles in U.S.-led initiatives to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz following the recent HMM vessel explosion. U.S. President Trump has suggested South Korea join the ‘Project Freedom’ initiative, amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The South Korean government is exploring various forms of international solidarity to guarantee free and safe navigation.
