Only two South Korean ships remain in Hormuz, says president
All but two stranded South Korean ships have now exited the Strait of Hormuz, President Lee Jae-myung says.
A total of 26 South Korean-linked vessels were stranded in the Strait when Iran closed the strategic waterway on February 28 in response to the US-Israeli assault.
Nearly 11,000 sailors on board 600 vessels were left stranded during the war. Under an International Maritime Organization-led operation, some 115 ships carrying 2,500 crew members left the strait last week.
The operation was paused after renewed hostilities erupted between US and Iran following a drone attack on a cargo ship by Iranian forces.
