South Korea Says In Talks With US On Possible Relocation Of Weapons

South Korea's foreign minister said Friday that Seoul and Washington are in talks on possibly relocating weapons, as the war in Iran intensifies. 

The war in the Middle East has dragged in global powers and upended the world's energy and transport sectors. 

South Korea, a US security ally,



hosts around 28,500 American troops and air defense assets, including Patriot missile interceptors, to deter the nuclear-armed North.

The operation of US forces in South Korea is "being closely coordinated between the military authorities of both countries," Seoul's Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said at a parliamentary hearing.
