EE. UU. cancela los ejercicios anfibios previstos con Corea del Sur por conflicto en Irán

Estados Unidos canceló los ejercicios conjuntos de desembarco anfibio «Ssangyong» con Corea del Sur el 24 de agosto, alegando que la disponibilidad limitada de tropas debido al conflicto en Irán obligó a la anulación, y funcionarios dijeron que estaban discutiendo una posible reprogramación. La decisión siguió la orden del presidente Donald Trump a principios de agosto de reducir los ejercicios anuales «Ulchi Freedom Shield», que se terminaron seis días antes, el 21 de agosto, citando la postura surcoreana sobre Irán y con la intención de impulsar conversaciones con Corea del Norte. El presidente surcoreano Lee Jae-Myung reiteró la importancia de la alianza, aunque analistas advirtieron que la reducción podría debilitar la disuasión y la preparación conjunta.
