South Korea to deploy military mission to Strait of Hormuz

Original: South Korea to deploy military mission to keep Strait of Hormuz open

South Korea has announced it will send a military mission to help keep the Strait of Hormuz open, according to France 24. The strategic waterway between Iran and Oman carries a large share of the world's oil, and South Korea depends heavily on energy imports passing through it. No further operational details were given in the available reporting.

Why now: Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz threaten global oil shipping, so countries are announcing naval deployments to protect maritime trade.
