SEOUL, March 5, 2026 — Rep. Han Jeoung-ae, chair of the National Assembly's policy committee, warned that South Korea's exports to the Middle East could be damaged by a widening U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran. She said exports to the region reached about 200 trillion won last year, that projects worth about 100 trillion won could be delayed or scrapped, and the government is preparing a 100 trillion-won stabilization program.
