Iran warns South Korea of consequences over Hormuz deployment

Iran has warned South Korea of 'serious consequences' if it deploys military forces to the Strait of Hormuz, amid U.S. pressure on allies to help secure the strategic waterway. The warning comes as South Korea faces a dilemma between its alliance with the United States and its economic ties with Iran. Iran's statements, reported by multiple sources, emphasize its opposition to any foreign military presence in the Persian Gulf. The U.S. is reportedly awaiting a commitment from South Korea regarding resources for Hormuz security.
