To resolve the 'troop deployment' issue in the Strait of Hormuz, South Korea reportedly plans to expand the Cheonghae Unit's operational scope to the Gulf of Oman ZH為「派兵」荷姆茲海峽解套 傳韓擬擴大清海部隊行動範圍至阿曼灣
Newtalk新聞 韓國政府針對是否派遣軍力進入荷姆茲海峽爭議,傳出考慮將派駐索馬利亞亞丁灣的「清海部隊」行動範圍擴大至荷姆茲海峽附近的阿曼灣,並增派一架海上巡邏機以強化戰力,相關細節尚未定案,但傳出將在2026年12月31日現行清海部隊派遣同意屆滿前提交延長案,包括時間、兵力、範圍等做小幅度調整。 韓國現行清海部隊派遣依據為韓國國會通過的《國軍部隊在索馬利亞亞丁灣海域派遣同意案》,自2009年起每年需獲國會同意延長。目前任務範圍明確限於「索馬利亞附近亞丁灣海域一帶」,但同意案另有「緊急時為保護國民而指示的海域」例外條款。現有兵力編制為一艘4400噸級驅逐艦、一架海上作戰直升機、至多三艘高速艇及最多320名官兵,主要執行反海盜與船舶護航任務;現在的任務艦是忠武公李舜臣級(Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin-class)驅逐艦「忠武公李舜臣號(ROKS Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin DDH-975)」。傳聞中的延長案擬將任務範圍擴至與荷姆茲海峽相連的阿曼灣,並增派一架海上巡邏機(可能為P-8A「海神」Poseidon),以強化遠程監視與偵察能力;部分訊息指,範圍擴大可能附帶「美伊相關戰事結束後再啟動」的條件。 今年3月以來,美國總統川普(Donald Trump)多次要求韓國就荷姆茲海峽安全作出貢獻,並提出派兵協助的請求。由於清海部隊執勤海域地理位置靠近海峽,外界一直將其視為最可能被調派的部隊。李在明總統上月記者會雖重申「不會進行以參戰或介入戰爭為目的的派兵」,但也承認正審慎考慮強化清海部隊相關能力,顯示政府在美方壓力與國內「不介入戰爭」原則間尋求折衝空間。 韓國國內輿論與政治圈對此方案反應分歧。據9月底民調,對清海部隊活動範圍擴大的支持率約37.6%,反對約39.9%,兩者差距在誤差範圍內,但進步陣營反對聲浪明顯較高。祖國革新黨等在野勢力批評此舉是「迂迴派兵」或「偏法派兵」,質疑政府藉調整同意案文字,規避全新派兵所需的國會同意程序,形同間接回應美方要求,恐讓韓國捲入中東衝突。執政黨部分人士則辯稱,這是強化部隊自身防衛與保護韓國船舶的必要措施,並非對荷姆茲派兵。公民團體亦已計畫集會反對。 韓國國防部針對「迂迴派兵」質疑回應,重申堅持「任何情況下都不會介入戰爭或戰鬥」的原則立場,並強調相關研議是基於亞丁灣海盜活動增加、安全形勢惡化,以保護國民與國家利益,與美方派兵要求無關。官員表示,具體方案仍未定案,屆時將與國會密切溝通並向國民說明。不過,2020年文在寅政府曾援引同意案例外條款,將清海部隊行動範圍擴大至荷姆茲附近而未另行取得國會同意,當時即引發「規避憲法程序」的爭議,此次討論因此被部分觀察家視為重演舊事。 分析指出,即使同意案通過並擴大範圍,清海部隊以吉布地為據點的運作模式,短期內直接移防阿曼灣的可能性仍低。政府此舉更像是在美方持續施壓、國內反戰情緒與能源航線安全需求間,為「派兵」難題尋求最小幅度的技術性解套,以維持韓美同盟關係,同時降低直接捲入衝突的國內政治成本。後續發展仍取決於延長同意案的最終條文與國會審議結果。延伸閱讀:轉向歐洲自主!德國改「競爭優先」路線 要MQ-28幽靈蝙蝠「入列排隊」中國第二艘超大型UUV支援艦現身廣州 「小一號」顯示「多線並行」實力楊宏基觀點》「防衛台灣」是核心利益還是戰略負債?台灣不該「偏聽」F-35 機密恐在韓外洩!韓軍放行近 200 輛比亞迪出入營區 驚喜現身!「蘇姿丰父親」蘇春槐哽咽力挺沈伯洋:台北市長不需要權貴

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating rises 2.1 percentage points, but disapproval remains at 60% ZH韓總統李在明施政滿意度上升2.1個百分點 但不滿意度仍達六成
Newtalk新聞 韓國民調機構Realmeter今(19)日公布有關國政民調。其中,總統李在明施政滿意度則較上週上升2.1個百分點。然而,其施政不滿意度仍在破六成。對此,Realmeter也針對李在明施政滿意度之異動給出可能的原因。 根據Realmeter所公布之民調,李在明施政滿意度為37.3%,較上週上升2.1個百分點;施政不滿意度則為60.4%,較上週下降1.0個百分點,而李在明支持度連續3週後首度回升。 對於李在明施政滿意度之異動,Realmeter分析,上週發生仁川隨機持刀攻擊事件,韓國政府強調針對重大刑事犯罪特別對策,以及住宅、就業、金融等民生政策,對於其施政滿意度呈現正面效果,使得支持率出現反彈情況。惟Realmeter也指出,上週後半段股市大幅下跌,金融市場的不安情緒逐漸蔓延,支持率再度轉為下滑,讓李在明原先支持度因前開因素,抵銷部分漲幅。 該明調係Realmeter受《亞洲經濟》委託進行所執行,調查於當地時間本月12日至16日進行,針對韓國全國年滿18歲以上選民進行電話訪問,總計撥打92,231通電話,最終取得2,520份有效樣本,回應率為2.7%,在95%信心水準下,抽樣誤差為正負2.0個百分點。延伸閱讀:薔琵增強為強颱 專家示警:北台灣「這天」雨勢升級蔣萬安談松機遷建「連個專家都沒有」 律師酸:大學生期末報告?社子島阿嬤下跪是「臨演」? 沈伯洋:擋到攝影、說set這個沒意義沈伯洋「大洋流號」今掃松信選區 已1.6萬人認領路段 台灣軟網亞運1金2銀1銅連10屆奪牌 慶功宴加發選手教練獎勵金
