South Korea is trying to secure the release of a tanker seized by Iran.
The MT Hankuk Chemi was seized by Iranian forces near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and its crew of 20 detained. Iran said the ship had violated environmental rules.
The incident comes amid tensions over Iranian funds frozen in South Korean banks because of US sanctions.
A senior South Korean official was due in Iran in the coming days to discuss the issue.
