South Korean president says three more ships to leave Hormuz over weekend
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung announced that three more ships will leave the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, reducing the number of trapped South Korean cargo ships to five. The ships were detained after Iran closed the strait following the US-Israel war with Iran. The president credited government agencies for their efforts in securing the ships' release.
