Korea is seemingly in a bind regarding who to support in the conflict brewing in the Strait of Hormuz.

The crux of the matter is whether to join the U.S.-led coalition to patrol the Strait or to decline the U.S. request in favor of Iran. Korea is party to an economic partnership with Iran, one that includes crude oil imports.

Iran's foreign ministry has urged Korea "to remain neutral" in the matter, while the US has officially asked Korea to join its coalition, leading to the catch 22.
