- South Korea's foreign ministry has assessed that an attack on its cargo ship, Namu, in the Strait of Hormuz on 4 May likely involved an Iranian anti-ship missile.
- The investigation found that the vessel was attacked twice, with the second warhead causing a fire and damaging the lower stern hull.
- Evidence, including debris components and warhead characteristics, suggests the objects were made in Iran and resemble Iranian anti-ship missiles like the Noor or Qader.
- First Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo stated that while evidence points to Iran, Seoul has not conclusively determined who was responsible or if the attack was intentional.
- South Korea plans to summon the Iranian ambassador to protest the incident and demand measures to prevent future occurrences, despite Tehran previously denying responsibility.
