Iranian Ambassador to South Korea Saeed Koozechi arrives at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Seoul on May 27, after being summoned by the Korean government.

The Korean government on Wednesday concluded that it was highly likely that it was Iranian-made anti-ship missiles that struck the container ship HMM Namu near the Strait of Hormuz on May 4.
The conclusion comes 23 days after the ship was attacked. However, Seoul stopped short of directly blaming Tehran.
