Summary
  • The UN Secretary-General warned that the war in the Middle East is completely out of control.
  • Iran declared restrictions on the passage of ships linked to the United States and Israel in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • As additional U.S. troops are dispatched to the Middle East, concerns about an escalation of war are growing.

Key Situation

As the war in the Middle East enters its 26th day, UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the conflict is "completely out of control." President Guterres emphasized that a diplomatic solution is the only breakthrough.

Israel is strengthening its airstrikes against Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon, and mutual attacks between Iran and Israel continue. The U.S. Department of Defense confirmed that some U.S. troops are moving to the Middle East.

Declaration of restrictions on passage through the Strait of Hormuz

Iran has informed the UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO) that the Strait of Hormuz remains open only to "non-hostile" vessels not affiliated with the United States or Israel. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically important point through which approximately 20% of the world's maritime oil traffic passes, and passage restrictions could have an immediate impact on the global energy market.

As Korea relies on the Middle East for a significant portion of its crude oil imports, heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz could have a direct impact on domestic energy security and oil prices.
