US Cancels Joint Amphibious Drill with South Korea Citing Iran War Constraints
The United States has canceled the biennial Ssangyong joint amphibious landing exercise with South Korea, originally scheduled for next month, due to constraints on U.S. force availability linked to the ongoing war in Iran. The U.S. Marine Corps notified South Korea in June about these limitations. Discussions are ongoing about possibly rescheduling the exercise. The cancellation reflects increased U.S. military commitments in West Asia amid reported casualties in the Iran conflict.
