El ministro de Defensa, Ahn Gyu-back, dijo el miércoles que Seúl revisará la posibilidad de realizar contribuciones graduales a una iniciativa de EE. UU. para restaurar el paso seguro en el estrecho de Ormuz.

El ministro de Defensa, Ahn Gyu-back, dijo el miércoles que Corea del Sur revisará contribuciones graduales a los esfuerzos de Washington para restaurar el paso seguro en el estrecho de Ormuz.

En declaraciones a los periodistas en la Embajada de Corea del Sur en Washington, Ahn describió posibles formas de participación tras reunirse el lunes con el secretario de Defensa de EE. UU., Pete Hegseth, en el Pentágono. Estas incluyen declarar apoyo, enviar personal, compartir información y proporcionar activos militares.

Ahn señaló que ambas partes no mantuvieron conversaciones profundas sobre una participación militar directa de Corea del Sur. Destacó que se deben seguir los procedimientos legales internos. Las discusiones también abordaron el impulso de Corea del Sur para una transferencia temprana del control operativo en tiempos de guerra y sus planes de submarinos de propulsión nuclear.

Los comentarios siguen a un aparente ataque la semana pasada contra el buque de carga surcoreano HMM Namu, el cual la oficina presidencial condenó el lunes.
