The South Korean government stated on September 11 that no decision has been made regarding the deployment to Hormuz. It emphasized that reports claiming the White House requested a response from the South Korean government regarding its 'contribution plan' related to the Strait of Hormuz by November 1 are not true.
In a press release, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed regret, stating, "Incorrect reports can harm national interests on important policy matters."
The ministry added, "Our government is closely consulting with the international community on practical contribution plans to protect citizens, safeguard economic interests, restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and promote peace and stability in the Middle East, but no specific contribution plan has been decided."
In relation to this, the Ministry of National Defense also stated on September 9 that the reports are false.
Meanwhile, the government has recently initiated practical review procedures, including sending a military local investigation team to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
