South Korea envoy meets Iranian FM

A special envoy from South Korea's Foreign Ministry has held a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, including recent Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The agenda of the meeting was not publicly disclosed, but it represents a diplomatic engagement between Seoul and Tehran. South Korea has historically maintained economic ties with Iran, which have been complicated by U.S.-led sanctions.
