On 10 November, South Korea’s cabinet approved a revised motion to expand the Cheonghae anti-piracy unit’s operating area from the Gulf of Aden to international waters south of Oman and add a maritime patrol aircraft and explosive-ordnance team; the motion still requires National Assembly consent. Seoul said the plan follows its non-involvement and non-intervention principles, while Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei urged South Korea not to send forces under the pretext of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Yonhap, SBS and Hankyoreh reported the move and Iran’s objection. The cabinet action is a proposal for parliamentary approval, not confirmation that the unit has deployed to the expanded area.
