Only two South Korean ships remain in Hormuz, says president

President Lee Jae-myung stated that only two South Korean ships remain in the Strait of Hormuz, down from 26 initially stranded after Iran closed the waterway on February 28. An International Maritime Organization-led operation evacuated 115 ships carrying 2,500 crew members last week, but was paused due to renewed US-Iran hostilities following an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship.
