South Korea has dispatched an investigation team to assess the situation in the conflict-stricken Strait of Hormuz, the defense ministry said Tuesday, amid repeated calls from Washington for Seoul to assist its war efforts against Iran.

The team departed for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the weekend and is expected to return as early as this week, the ministry added.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical maritime logistics routes, and concerns are growing in the international community as tensions with Iran escalate. South Korea's decision appears to be aimed at maintaining its alliance with the United States while considering its relations with Iran. This move is expected to further strengthen South Korea's diplomatic and military stance in the region.
