In Seoul, demonstrators urge the Lee Jae Myung government to reject US calls for a South Korean military deployment to the Strait of Hormuz, warning against joining a “war of aggression.” Polls show 55% oppose sending troops and 30% are in favour, even as the strait remains vital for South Korea’s oil and petrochemical imports. Tehran has warned any Korean military role would have serious consequences. Al Jazeera’s Jack Barton reports from Seoul.
