Iran foreign ministry spokesman Baghaei posted on social media saying Tehran
values its 64-year relationship with South Korea but that, as Iran defends
itself against U.S. aggression and responds to what it calls U.S. war crimes
targeting women and children, any country's military presence or participation
in operations in the Persian Gulf or the Strait of Hormuz will be treated as
direct support for the aggression and will lead to serious consequences. He
warned sovereign states not to yield to U.S. pressure or to conspire in acts of
aggression and atrocities against the Iranian people.
