South Korea has sent a special envoy to Iran to discuss bilateral issues and the resumption of safe passage for its commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. The move comes as dozens of South Korean-linked ships remain trapped in the strategic waterway due to the ongoing US naval blockade. The South Korean government has faced criticism from Iranian sources for previously seizing Iranian assets. The talks highlight the broader economic impact of the blockade on international shipping and third-party nations.
