An explosion and fire struck the South Korean-operated HMM Namu bulk carrier anchored off the UAE near the Strait of Hormuz late on May 4. U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Iran 'shot at' the vessel for going 'it alone' and urged Seoul to join the U.S.-led Project Freedom mission. South Korea's government prioritizes investigating the cause before responding.
