South Korea says to summon Iran ambassador for protest at attack on ship
Seoul, May 27 (AFP) May 27, 2026
Seoul said Wednesday it would summon Iran's ambassador to protest after an probe concluded that a strike on a South Korean ship in the Strait of Hormuz was "highly likely" an Iranian-made missile.

"Our government plans to summon the Iranian ambassador to explain the investigation results, convey a strong protest regarding the attack on our vessel, and demand responsible measures, including steps to prevent a recurrence," first vice foreign minister Park Yoon-joo said during a briefing.
