South Korea will not send military to support US war on Iran, defying Trump pressure

South Korea’s president, Lee Jae Myung, has said he will ⁠not deploy the military to the ⁠Middle East in a way ​that could draw the country into conflict, resisting calls from Donald Trump to support his war in Iran.

“There won’t be deployment that would involve or enter war. I can tell you that very clearly,” Lee said at a ⁠news conference on Friday. “We won’t deploy military assets in any form to that end.”

However, Lee added that he was reviewing whether to play a greater role in safeguarding navigation in the region. South Korea maintains a naval presence off the coast of Somalia as part of an anti-piracy mission.

“[It] is also clear that we must do the minimum as other countries do to ​protect our commercial shipping and crude shipments, and also the safety of ‌our people,” he said.
