继两艘日本相关油轮近期穿过伊朗封锁的霍尔木兹海峡后，韩国外交部周日强调，海峡内各船只及相关国家面临的情况各不相同。此前，美以两国在二月下旬对伊朗发动的袭击引发持续危机，导致26艘韩国籍船只及173名船员滞留。韩国政府表示，在优先确保船员安全的同时，将寻求根据国际准则恢复航行自由。
韩国外交部周日表示，霍尔木兹海峡内的船只在国籍、所有权、运营商、货物、目的地及船员构成等方面差异巨大，导致每艘船只及其所属国面临的情况各不相同。
该部门向媒体表示：“我们在考虑航运公司立场的同时，将船只和船员的安全置于首位。”在近期动态中，除日本相关船只在双边谈判后获准通行外，与中国、泰国和法国相关的船只也已通过该海峡，这得益于伊朗此前作出的有条件允许。
伊朗虽通过磋商允许船只通行，但正通过收取通行费作为对全球能源供应的制衡手段。外交消息人士透露，由于存在袭击风险且各公司选择留守，首尔方面并未要求相关船只撤离。
韩国外交部正与除美国以外的主要国家进行协调，旨在应对能源供应中断，并依据国际法尽快为包括韩国船只在内的所有船舶恢复安全、自由的航行。此前，韩国已于三月下旬与伊朗及其他相关方进行了初步磋商。
