  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that Korea and the United States will hold their senior-level Integrated Defense Dialogue (KIDD) this week in Busan, as Seoul considers military deployment to the Strait of Hormuz. The biannual talks, led by Deputy Defense Minister Kim Hong-cheol and U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of War George Lemeur, will cover various security issues, including the return of wartime operational control to Seoul and joint defense posture and cooperation in shipbuilding.
