지난주 미국과 이란의 휴전 합의 이후 한국 선박 8척이 호르무즈 해협을 빠져나왔다.
해양수산부는 26일 선박 8척이 안전하게 해협을 통과했으며 현재 정상 운항 중이라고 밝혔다. 이로써 해협 내 남아 있는 한국 관련 선박은 5척으로 줄었다.
이재명 대통령은 엑스에 올린 글에서 이번 주말에 선박 3척이 추가로 빠져나갈 것으로 예상된다고 말했다. 수리 중인 나무호와 화물 문제로 체류 중인 선박을 제외한 나머지 선박들이다.
해협 통과는 미국과 이란이 잠정 합의한 후 이뤄졌다. 이란은 60일간 통행료 없이 선박 통과를 허용하기로 했다.

Another South Korean-operated vessel has passed through the Strait of Hormuz, the second such case amid regional tensions.
South Korea's foreign ministry emphasized on Sunday the diverse situations facing ships and nations in the Strait of Hormuz, following the recent transit of two Japan-linked tankers through the Iran-blocked waterway. This comes amid the ongoing crisis sparked by late February U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, which stranded 26 South Korean vessels carrying 173 sailors. Seoul prioritizes crew safety while seeking to restore navigation freedom under international norms.

In an update to South Korea's response to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun stated on April 15 that Seoul has no plans to pay Iran for passage of its 26 stranded ships carrying 173 seafarers, aligning with the U.S.-led blockade. Data on the vessels was shared with Iran, the U.S., and Gulf states, factoring in a recent two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned of severe reaction against any military ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz, after two US destroyers passed through for a demining operation. The threat comes as peace talks between the United States and Iran began in Pakistan. Navigation in this strategic waterway remains hindered by mines laid by Tehran.

The rapid reversal came amid persistent U.S. naval restrictions and low actual transits, heightening tensions in the key energy corridor.
