  "summary": "Iran's Foreign Ministry has warned South Korea that participating in military operations in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz would be seen as supporting US aggression, with serious consequences. According to The Korea Times, the warning was issued by the ministry's spokesperson on social media.\n\nThe warning comes as Iran is set to establish a new restricted zone in the Gulf, as reported by Al-Monitor and Channel News Asia. The zone will start from where the US blockade of Iran begins and extend into areas of the Gulf, according to Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.\n\nIran also plans to approve maps detailing passage routes for the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by Channel News Asia and Al-Monitor. These developments have contributed to higher oil prices following a weekend exchange of strikes on shipping.",
