First Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo said a technical analysis of the May 4 attack on the HMM-operated cargo ship, including the warhead's shape and debris, showed an Iranian-made anti-ship missile was "highly likely" used, though Seoul had not conclusively assigned responsibility. Iran's ambassador, summoned to the ministry, denied any involvement.

Why it matters

Seoul's finding pointed to Iran in one of the unclaimed Hormuz ship attacks, which Tehran denied.
