Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson appeared to warn South Korea on Thursday against supporting US military operations near the Strait of Hormuz, two days after Seoul's cabinet approved a plan to expand its naval operations toward the waterway, Iran International reports.
In a post on X, Esmaeil Baghaei warned that deploying naval forces, military equipment or personnel, or providing logistical support for US operations would constitute a hostile and unlawful act.
"Any state that may participate in such unlawful aggressions, in whatever form, shall bear full responsibility for the resulting repercussions," he wrote.
