South Korea says US-North Korea talks possible, rules out Hormuz deployment

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung stated that US President Donald Trump wants dialogue with Pyongyang and confirmed that Seoul will not deploy troops to intervene militarily in the Iran war. While such talks are uncertain, they are not impossible, and South Korea is continuing preliminary coordination efforts to facilitate dialogue. Trump plans to meet Kim Jong Un later this year, as inter-Korean relations have deteriorated since the collapse of talks in 2019.
