A group of demonstrators gathered outside the United States embassy in Seoul to voice their opposition to South Korea participating in potential military operations near the Strait of Hormuz. The protesters carried placards criticizing American foreign policy and urged their government to refrain from joining what they described as an aggressive conflict against Iran. This public demonstration followed reports that South Korean officials had dispatched a team to evaluate the security situation in the region. While the government confirmed the presence of this fact-finding mission, authorities emphasized that no formal decision regarding the deployment of naval assets has been reached. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical maritime passage, accounting for approximately one-fifth of the world's energy supply, making it a focal point of international geopolitical tensions.
