South Korean President Lee Jae Myung stated on Friday that the nation will not deploy military assets to the Middle East in a manner that would involve the country in conflicts related to the Iran war.
President Lee made these remarks during a press conference, emphasizing a cautious approach to the escalating regional tensions.
While ruling out direct military engagement, the government is reportedly evaluating the possibility of increasing its contribution to safeguarding maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. This suggests a focus on supporting regional stability through non-combat operations.
