The South Korean Blue House is currently reviewing plans to deploy military forces to the Strait of Hormuz following a proposal for international cooperation on freedom of navigation. ^[1] Argentine President Javier Milei announced sanctions against oil companies operating in the Falkland Islands and the creation of a new naval base. ^[2] President Javier Milei explicitly endorsed the diplomatic path as the instrument to achieve sovereignty, stating that no military alternative is being proposed for the sovereignty conflict. ^[3] President Javier Milei reaffirmed Argentina's historical position regarding its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands, as well as the corresponding maritime spaces. ^[4] A high-ranking Blue House official stated on August 5, 2026, that the review covers both combat participation and non-combat contributions. ^[5] The official clarified that under the South Korean Constitution, any deployment to the field, regardless of size or type (combat or non-combat), is legally defined as 'deployment'. ^[6] UK Defense Minister Wes Streeting responded to Milei by stating that the Falkland Islands are British because the islanders chose to be British in the 2013 referendum. ^[7] The administration stated that their willingness to contribute to the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is based on national interests and dependency on the strait. ^[8]
