Iran’s Hormuz stance leaves South Korea preparing for a crisis that may not end

Iran said on Saturday that the strait would remain closed, citing Israel’s continued military operations in Lebanon, while U.S. Vice President JD Vance traveled to Switzerland for talks aimed at salvaging the agreement. South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs convened a virtual meetingon Friday with embassies in the U.S., Iran, Oman, Japan, Qatar
