South Korean media reports that South Korea plans to send troops to the Strait of Hormuz, the government says deployment plan has not yet been determined

On September 4, South Korean media quoted government and military sources on Thursday night that South Korea is preparing to deploy military forces to provide support for maintaining freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and plans to send relevant forces before the end of this year. Several South Korean media reported that the South Korean government is preparing relevant procedures to seek congressional approval for the deployment. Reported that the South Korean government is considering various deployment options, including sending maritime patrol aircraft, logistics support ships, or troops to carry out mine detection and clearance missions, and has been discussing with countries such as the United States, Britain and France the scale and specific form of possible participation in the operation. South Korea's presidential palace said Seoul had indeed been discussing specific ways to support freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, but reports that the government had determined a deployment plan were "inconsistent with the facts."
