The Blue House stated that it "welcomes" the conclusion of peace negotiations between the United States and Iran, describing the development as a "step in the right direction."
A senior official from the Blue House, who is accompanying President Lee Jae-myung on his official visit to the Vatican, spoke with reporters at the local press center. "There have been various discussions for a ceasefire, and the process has been quite back-and-forth, but it appears an agreement has been reached," the official said.
The official emphasized, "It is particularly significant for us that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is included as part of that agreement."
However, the official added, "Of course, we need to continue to monitor how the agreement is implemented. While we are hopeful, we also need to see if the Strait of Hormuz will be opened in the short term. We are closely watching the situation, as the ceasefire itself could be affected by how the nuclear issue is discussed in follow-up agreements."
