SEOUL, Sept. 4 (Yonhap) -- The presidential office said Friday no final decision has been reached on sending military forces to the Strait of Hormuz, saying a review is still under way.

South Korea may be able to make military contributions to global efforts to ensure free navigation through the strait, to the extent that such contributions do not compromise its defense readiness, if it decides to do so, a presidential official said.
