SEOUL, Sept. 3 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's presidential office on Thursday rejected a report claiming the government is considering sending troops to the conflict-stricken Hormuz Strait.

"It is different from the facts. Details related to the issue have yet to be decided," Cheong Wa Dae said in a notice to reporters.

The presidential office reiterated its previous stance that South Korea has been in discussions with other nations on how it could contribute to restoring peace and stability in the Middle East and inside the strait.

Earlier in the day, local broadcaster JTBC reported that the government is "leaning toward" dispatching troops to the Strait of Hormuz and is reviewing related details to submit a request for a parliamentary approval to the National Assembly.

U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized South Korea for declining requests to send naval assets and help secure the strait, claiming President Lee Jae Myung had said "no thanks" to his request to join U.S. efforts against Iran.

首尔，9月3日（韩联社）——韩国总统府周四驳斥了一份报道称，政府正在考虑向冲突不断的霍尔木兹海峡派遣军队。

青瓦台在发给记者的一份声明中表示：“这与事实不符。有关此事的细节尚未确定。”

总统府重申了其先前的立场，即韩国一直在与其他国家讨论如何为恢复中东和海峡内部的和平与稳定做出贡献。

当天早些时候，当地电视台JTBC报道称，政府“倾向于”向霍尔木兹海峡派遣军队，并正在审查相关细节，以便向国会提交申请以获得批准。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普多次批评韩国拒绝派遣海军力量协助维护海峡安全的请求，声称韩国总统李在明拒绝了他加入美国打击伊朗行动的请求。
