DOMINANT ANGLE

Seoul methodically documents Hormuz paralysis without being reassured by the ceasefire

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media

ANALYSIS

Seoul covers Hormuz with the methodology of a country that has turned energy dependence into a documentary obsession. The Korea Times publishes two complementary pieces: the first analyzes peace talk prospects, highlighting 'competing demands' on Hormuz and Lebanon; the second compiles facts on strait traffic since the ceasefire — passage remains 'limited.' South Korea, the world's fourth-largest crude importer, cannot afford optimism.
