No independent and responsible government will succumb to American pressure and intimidation to collude in aggressive and destabilizing actions in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Ismail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wrote in a message in Korean on the X network: 🔺 "The relations between Iran and South Korea have over 64 years of history and have always been based on mutual respect. Iran places great value on its friendly relations with South Korea. However, it is clear that in the current situation, where the Iranian nation is defending itself against aggressive actions and firmly responding to the war crimes of the U.S. against women and children, any operational participation or military presence of other parties in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz will amount to direct support for the aggressor and will have serious consequences. 🔺 No sovereign and responsible country will succumb to American pressure and extortion to collude in committing aggressive acts and heinous crimes against the great nation of Iran."
