针对霍尔木兹海峡危机的最新进展，韩国外交部长赵兑烈于4月15日表示，韩国没有计划向伊朗支付通行费以解救其26艘滞留船只及173名船员，此举符合以美国为首的封锁政策。相关船只数据已与伊朗、美国及海湾国家共享，并考量了华盛顿与德黑兰之间最近达成的为期两周的停火协议。
外交部长赵兑烈在4月15日回应议员质询时表示：“现阶段，我们没有计划向伊朗支付任何形式的赔偿，也不会采取任何违背美国立场的行动。”
受美伊战争影响，霍尔木兹海峡持续被封锁，自2月底袭击事件以来，已有26艘韩国船只和173名船员受困。基于此前的外交努力，首尔不仅与伊朗共享了船只和船员信息，还与美国及海湾合作委员会（GCC）成员国共享了相关数据，以寻求各方对船只及人员安全的配合。
韩国总统府周二证实了数据共享一事。赵兑烈补充称：“我们已请求他们（就船员安全）提供配合。”他指出，该决定综合考量了近期达成的两周停火协议，以便采取临时措施并为船只获释创造潜在的谈判空间。
这表明韩国在当前危机中支持以美国为首的封锁政策，同时也致力于维护本国船员的福祉。

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.

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.
