韩国总统李在明2026年9月18日表示,其政府不会派遣部队或军事资产介入美以对伊朗的战争,公开拒绝了特朗普总统要求韩国加入行动的施压。特朗普近几周批评首尔未能协助保卫霍尔木兹海峡,并指出驻韩美军的存在是为防范朝鲜。
李在明表示,韩国并非考虑战斗部署,而是正考虑扩大目前已部署在索马里海岸附近执行反海盗行动的一艘韩国海军驱逐舰及其护航支援船只的行动范围。任何扩大的角色都将严格限定于保护韩国油轮和其他商船,而非参与对伊朗的军事行动。
一位韩国政府发言人表示,该国必须在朝鲜半岛保持军事戒备以防范朝鲜,这凸显了首尔在其他地区投入兵力能力的局限性。这一决定凸显了韩国在维护与华盛顿盟友关系的同时,避免直接卷入不断扩大的中东冲突所面临的外交平衡难题。
