Iran warned South Korea against any participation in military operations in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that such a decision would have consequences for bilateral relations between the two countries.
South Korea had previously expressed the possibility of helping to ensure the security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important maritime routes in the world for oil transportation.
Tehran advised Seoul not to give in to "American pressure and intimidation", referring supposedly to the calls from the United States for a greater international presence in the region to protect maritime traffic.
