Seoul Expands Cheonghae Unit Mission Near Hormuz

South Korea has decided to expand the operational area of its Cheonghae anti-piracy unit toward the Strait of Hormuz and deploy additional military assets to the region, the Ministry of National Defense announced. The government submitted a revised motion to the National Assembly to extend the unit's operating area from the Gulf of Aden to waters south of Oman, according to the Korea Times. Yonhap reports the plan to expand the anti-piracy mission closer to Hormuz and send more naval assets. The move follows U.S. defensive strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by the Korea Times, though the documents do not explicitly link the two events.
