South Korea declined sending military to support US war in Iran despite President Trump's pressure.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has ruled out sending troops or military assets that could involve South Korea in the ongoing war with Iran, despite continued calls from Washington for greater support.
Lee said Seoulās principle of avoiding involvement in the conflict will remain unchanged.
South Korea is, however, considering limited measures to protect its commercial vessels, oil shipments and citizens around the Strait of Hormuz.
The decision comes after weeks of U.S. pressure on Seoul to contribute to efforts in the region.

FORMER COLIN POWELL CHIEF OF STAFF MAKES BOMBSHELL CLAIMS ABOUT U.S. FOREIGN POLICY
"We lied about Vietnam. We lied about Iraq. We lied about Afghanistan. We lied about Somalia. We lied about Libya..."
A former chief of staff to Colin Powell has reportedly criticized the history of U.S. foreign interventions, citing Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Libya.
He argued that misleading claims and flawed policies surrounding past wars contributed to devastating consequences ā including situations where American-made weapons and military equipment ultimately ended up in the hands of militant and terrorist groups.
The comments have reignited debate over U.S. foreign policy, military interventions and the unintended consequences of supplying weapons in conflict zones.

RUSSIA AND CHINA VETO UN MANDATE TO MONITOR IRAN SANCTIONS
Russia and China have vetoed a U.S.-backed resolution at the UN Security Council that sought to extend the mandate of the expert panel responsible for monitoring sanctions against Iran.
The resolution received 11 votes in favor, while Russia and China voted against it, with Pakistan and Somalia abstaining.
Moscow and Beijing argued against extending the monitoring mechanism, while the United States maintained that ending it would create a major gap in independent monitoring of sanctions violations and evasion.
IMPORTANT: The veto does NOT remove the existing sanctions. It blocks the extension of the UN expert panel tasked with monitoring their implementation.
Iran welcomed the Russian and Chinese vetoes.
The vote highlights the growing divide at the UN Security Council over Iran, sanctions and the future of international pressure on Tehran.
The geopolitical battle over Iran is now playing out inside the UN as well as across the Middle East.

UN EXPERTS SAY U.S. MAY HAVE COMMITTED WAR CRIMES IN IRAN
A UN fact-finding mission says it found āreasonable groundsā to believe U.S. forces were responsible for two February 28 strikes in Iran that downed at least 178 civilians.
One strike hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab, where more than 150 people were downed , including around 120 children, according to Iranian officials.
The second strike hit a sports complex and residential area in Lamerd, downing 22 civilians, according to the UN-backed investigators.
The experts said the locations were clearly identifiable as civilian sites and concluded that the attacks amounted to indiscriminate attacks prohibited under international humanitarian law. (Internazionale)
A preliminary U.S. assessment reportedly found that American forces were likely responsible for the Minab strike but suggested the school may have been hit because outdated intelligence incorrectly identified the area as a military site. Washington has not publicly accepted responsibility and says the investigation is ongoing. The U.S. military has also denied responsibility for the Lamerd strike. (CBS News)
The same UN report, however, also accuses Iranian authorities of crimes against humanity during their crackdown on anti-government protesters, including torture and arbitrary detention. (apnews.com)
The findings are not a criminal court judgment or legally binding verdict, but the evidence could potentially be relevant to future international legal proceedings.
