🇮🇷🇰🇷 Prof. Marandi: If South Korea joins the Hormuz mission, its assets become targets Iranian academic Mohammad Marandi is warning Seoul against joining U.S.-led operations in the Strait of Hormuz, saying Iran would then consider South Korea an enemy. “Iran will not only target the South Korean military assets, but Iran could easily destroy their economic assets across the Persian Gulf region.” That could include South Korean interests in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE and Qatar. Seoul says no decision has been made. But with 61% of South Korea’s crude imports passing through Hormuz last year, this is one invitation to the war with a particularly ugly downside.
