在德黑兰表示愿在中东危机期间允许日本船只通过后，韩国正与伊朗及其他国家进行密切磋商，以推动霍尔木兹海峡的航行常态化。韩国外交部官员表示，政府在密切关注局势的同时，正与相关国家进行积极沟通。
首尔，3月21日（韩联社）——韩国外交部一名官员周六表示，在德黑兰声明愿意允许日本船只通过因中东危机而实际上处于关闭状态的霍尔木兹海峡后，韩国正与包括伊朗在内的各国进行密切磋商，以确保该海峡航行能够迅速恢复正常。该官员表示：“政府正在密切关注中东地区的事态发展，同时探索保护我国公民及确保能源运输路线安全的途径。我们正与包括伊朗在内的相关国家进行积极沟通。”伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐在接受共同社采访时表示，在与东京进行适当磋商后，德黑兰已准备好允许日本船只通行。霍尔木兹海峡承载了全球20%以上的石油贸易，所有可供油轮通行的航道均位于伊朗领海内，这使得该海峡对于韩国和日本等东亚国家至关重要。周五，首尔加入了包括欧洲国家和日本在内的七国联合声明，谴责伊朗在海湾地区的袭击行动及事实上关闭海峡的行为。此前，在美国和以色列空袭引发伊朗实际上封锁了该海峡后，局势骤然紧张。

South Korea's foreign ministry announced Friday it will join a joint statement by seven countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and Canada, condemning Iran's attacks in the Gulf and de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The statement calls on Iran to cease its actions and respect freedom of navigation. Seoul cited safety of sea lanes and impacts on its energy supply.
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.

The United States warned shipping companies they could face sanctions for payments to Iran to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The alert heightens pressure amid the US-Iran standoff over control of the vital waterway. South Korea's foreign minister urged safe navigation in a call with his Iranian counterpart.
Iran said Friday that commercial vessels can again transit the Strait of Hormuz under routes coordinated with Iranian authorities for the duration of a ceasefire, a claim echoed by U.S. President Donald Trump. But shipping risks — including concerns over sea mines and unclear security conditions — have kept many operators cautious, even as the United States maintains a blockade on traffic to and from Iranian ports.

Amid U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Korean government stated that oil and gas supplies remain stable for now.

The Japanese government is weighing the use of part of its national oil reserves due to supply disruptions from the Iran crisis.

The remarks refer to efforts to reopen the waterway disrupted by Iran's missile and drone attacks amid the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
