Iran says closely monitoring developments in South Korea
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is closely following the developments in South Korea and hopes that the situation will return to normal without harm being inflicted on the people, legal institutions, and democracy,” the statement read.
The ministry advised Iranian nationals residing in South Korea to take necessary precautions, avoid areas where violence might occur, and promptly reach out to the Iranian Embassy in Seoul if any emergencies arise.
Tensions escalated in South Korea after President Yoon Suk Yeol’s controversial declaration of martial law on December 3, 2024, which he later revoked amid widespread backlash.
Protests broke out after the declaration and subsequent revocation of martial law. Demonstrations were led by opposition groups and civil society organizations, criticizing the president’s actions as undemocratic and calling for his resignation.
