As expected the Lee administration is going with the strongly worded letter approach in response to the Iranian attack on a Korean ship:

A senior Korean government official said Thursday that Iran is almost certainly behind the attack on the Korean-operated cargo ship HMM Namu in the Strait of Hormuz on May 4, while stressing that an investigation is still underway and vowing a “diplomatic offensive” against those responsible once confirmed.

“Although the investigation is not yet conclusive, based on common sense, it is unlikely any actor other than Iran was responsible for the attack,” the official said, noting there were no pirates operating in the area at the time.

“Show show show~”

What kind of cynical talk is this?

They are going on a diplomatic OFFENSIVE!

All you see is what makes the news. You won’t see the behind the scenes Double Secret Probation.

Iran will seldom see a letter so strongly worded.
