The South Korea-US security alliance is facing a critical juncture as the US prioritizes its interests in the Iran conflict. This shift in priorities underscores the inherent contradictions in the US's security guarantees, which have long been a cornerstone of the alliance. The consequences of this realignment will have far-reaching implications for South Korea's security and economic stability.
