U.S. President Donald Trump has called on South Korea and four other nations, China, France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, to send ships to the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump made the comment in a social media post on Saturday, with the appeal targeting countries heavily dependent on oil passing through the strait, which carries about 20 percent of the world's oil.
South Korea’s government gave a cautious response, with the Blue House saying it is closely communicating with the United States and will carefully review and judge the matter.
Officials also noted that the safety of international sea lanes and freedom of navigation serve the interests of all nations.
They added that Seoul is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East and the responses of other countries while considering comprehensive measures to protect Korean nationals and secure energy transport routes.
Four other countries have also shown similarly reserved reactions.
Japan said it will make its own independent decision and is not planning any immediate naval deployment.
France indicated its ships will remain in a defensive posture in the eastern Mediterranean.
The United Kingdom said it is discussing various support options with allies, including possible mine-detection equipment, but has not committed to sending warships.
China avoided giving a direct answer, only calling for an immediate end to hostilities.
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said it is quite logical to have a broad coalition of the nations of the world work to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
He also said the war with Iran will certainly end in the next few weeks.
With the U.S. previously describing South Korea as a “model ally,” Seoul may have some difficult decisions to make.
