Newtalk新聞 韓國政府今天（5日）宣布，決定將索馬利亞亞丁灣反海盜「清海部隊」行動區擴至阿曼南部杜格姆（Duqm）商港近海，更靠近荷姆茲海峽，並增派P-8A海上巡邏機、爆炸物處理（EOD）小組與無人掃雷裝備。相關修正提案已獲副部級會議通過，下周經國務會議與總統批准後送國會審議。 新方案使最大作戰半徑由約600海里擴至近一倍，延伸至距荷姆茲約650公里的阿曼以南公海。人員由約320人增至395人。韓國國防部強調，增兵行動並非介入美伊相關衝突，所以僅限非戰鬥任務，部隊維持獨立指揮，巡邏機不得針對或監視伊朗領土、領海及海峽內部。相關派遣軍力目的在保護韓國公民、商船與能源運輸等經濟利益。清海部隊自2009年起駐防亞丁灣，現行派遣期限至今年底，預計可延至2027年底。 韓國政府以擴大既有清海部隊任務範圍、增派巡邏機與掃雷力量的方式強化中東部署，而非直接派兵進入衝突區。雖一再強調不是介入美伊衝突，但仍被視為在美國施壓下採取較為間接的貢獻形式。 行動將從亞丁灣延伸至阿曼南部近海，新增P-8A巡邏機1架、EOD小組與無人水面艇、水下艇等裝備。國防部官員指出，海上巡邏機任務明確受限，不得探測伊朗相關區域或海峽內側。韓國高度依賴中東石油進口，相關航道安全直接影響能源供應。總統李在明此前曾明確表示，不會以可能使韓國捲入戰爭的方式派兵中東。政府以「保護公民與經濟利益」「支援國際航道航行自由恢復」為由推進，但仍引發部分在野黨質疑是否變相派兵。最終能否成行，將取決於國會審議結果。延伸閱讀：甜蜜的復仇？！被莫須有開除的女中將突防當選眾議員 恐參與彈劾赫格塞斯擴大對伊朗軍事行動？美RC-135U「戰鬥哨兵」前進歐洲 楊宏基觀點》南韓防長姜信哲靈魂發問：能信美軍？ 對台灣的啟示是…又來…第19次？北韓朝日本海發射多枚「飛彈」 傳射程不及300公里中國憂心川普選後打伊朗? 北京表態了 還找來「這2國」先「促進對話」
