South Korea says to summon Iran ambassador for protest at attack on ship

Seoul has said it would summon Iran’s ambassador to protest after a probe concluded that a strike on a South Korean ship in the Strait of Hormuz was “highly likely” an Iranian-made missile, AFP reports.

“Our government plans to summon the Iranian ambassador to explain the investigation results, convey a strong protest regarding the attack on our vessel, and demand responsible measures, including steps to prevent a recurrence,” first vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo said during a briefing.
