President Yoon Suk-yeol had a successful diplomatic trip this week to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he secured <\/span>$30 billion<\/span><\/a> in investments for key industries and <\/span>billions<\/span><\/a> more<\/span><\/a> in<\/span><\/a> memorandums of understanding (MOUs). However, a careless remark about the UAE\u2019s much larger northern neighbor, Iran, could strain relations between Seoul and Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoon made several planned visits as part of his itinerary, such as to the <\/span>Barakah nuclear power plant<\/span><\/a> in Abu Dhabi, <\/span>the Wahat Al Karama war memorial, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Akh Unit<\/span><\/a>, South Korea\u2019s Special Warfare Unit in the UAE.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Akh Unit consists of Army Special Warfare Command\u2019s special warfare and high-altitude counterterrorism teams and underwater demolition team (UDT) and sea, air and land (SEAL) agents. The ROK has stationed Akh Unit in the UAE since 2011 upon request from Abu Dhabi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Donned in a desert-patterned combat uniform shirt, Yoon encouraged the Akh Unit\u2019s 147 soldiers to consider the UAE a \u201cbrother country\u201d <\/span>in a speech<\/span><\/a> and appeared to equate Iran with North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe national security of our brother country is our national security. The UAE\u2019s enemy \u2014 and its biggest threat \u2014 is Iran, [just as] ours is North Korea,\u201d Yoon, adding that South Korea and the UAE \u201cfind ourselves in very similar positions.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TEHRAN IS NOT AMUSED<\/b><\/p>\n

While it is not yet clear if Yoon\u2019s advisers vetted the speech before he gave it, the address raised eyebrows \u2014 particularly in Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s foreign ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, <\/span>described<\/span><\/a> Yoon\u2019s remark as \u201cinterventionist\u201d and said that it revealed \u201ccomplete unawareness of the historical and cordial relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran\u201d and the UAE and a lack of knowledge about the region. The ministry also said it is seeking an explanation from Seoul regarding Yoon\u2019s remarks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeking to downplay the controversy, the ROK foreign ministry told journalists that Yoon merely meant to offer words of encouragement for the troops and that the \u201cenemy\u201d remark was “irrelevant” to South Korea’s diplomatic ties with Iran or other countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ministry also stated South Korea has maintained friendly and cooperative ties with Iran since forging diplomatic relations in 1962 and that the government remains firmly committed to developing friendly bilateral relations with Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n

That relationship was relatively smooth and <\/span>trade was stable<\/span><\/a> until 2018 when the Trump administration reimposed sanctions after unilaterally <\/span>withdrawing<\/span><\/a> from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement. According to the <\/span>U.S. Energy Information Administration<\/span><\/a>, South Korea imported approximately 3 million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate in 2017, which made it the fifth-largest importer in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Relations quickly turned sour when South Korean banks froze Iranian assets per U.S. sanctions. More than <\/span>$7 billion<\/span><\/a> remains frozen in the ROK, Seoul\u2019s payment for oil that Iran had supplied before the U.S. reimposed sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Jan. 2021, the Iranian Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) <\/span>captured<\/span><\/a> a South Korean tanker, the Hankuk Chemi, in the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran accused the vessel of \u201ccreating environmental and chemical pollution in the Persian Gulf\u201d and held it for three months. The ship was released only after Seoul <\/span>promised<\/span><\/a> to help Tehran reclaim its frozen assets, even though both countries claimed that Hankuk Chemi and the funds were unrelated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The issue of the frozen $7 billion fund still remains unresolved.<\/span><\/p>\n

REGIONAL ARMS DEALS<\/b><\/p>\n

The asset freeze is not the only issue that has strained relations between Seoul and Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ROK has become one of the world\u2019s most prominent arms exporters in recent years. For Yoon and South Korea, arms manufacturing is purely an engine for <\/span>economic growth<\/span><\/a>. However, the burgeoning industry has inadvertently put South Korea in the middle of regional conflicts, whether Seoul likes it or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the Biden administration <\/span>temporarily halted<\/span><\/a> arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE in Jan. 2021, the two Gulf states turned to South Korea. The UAE bought <\/span>$3.5 billion<\/span><\/a> worth of mid-range missiles from the ROK that year, and Saudi Arabia followed with an <\/span>$800 million<\/span><\/a> defense deal a few months later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia has engaged in a <\/span>multi-year conflict<\/span><\/a> against <\/span>Iranian-backed<\/span><\/a> Houthi forces in Yemen since 2015. The UAE has been a member of the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis. Last January, the Houthis <\/span>seized<\/span><\/a> a UAE-flagged vessel in the Red Sea and initiated a drone attack on Abu Dhabi that triggered a fuel tank blast and <\/span>killed<\/span><\/a> three people.<\/span><\/p>\n

The arms deals, Yoon\u2019s often-repeated claims to support <\/span>values-based diplomacy<\/span><\/a> and his recent comment about Iran being the UAE\u2019s enemy and biggest threat could be too significant a combination for Tehran to ignore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although South Korean trade minister Ahn Duk-geun recently <\/span>met<\/span><\/a> with the Iranian ambassador to South Korea to discuss ways to boost the trade of humanitarian items and the overall economic relationship between the two countries, Yoon\u2019s comments as well as South Korea\u2019s firm alignment with the U.S. may constrain these options.<\/span><\/p>\n

About <\/span>70%<\/span><\/a> of South Korea’s oil imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz. In its ongoing quest to recover its money, and with ROK arms finding their way into the hands of its geopolitical foes, Iran may decide to turn the screws on South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n
