South Korea says it cannot stop US weapons redeployment South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Tuesday said his government cannot prevent the United States from redeploying weapons stationed in South Korea to the Middle East in the war against Iran. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Lee said Seoul had expressed concerns about the move but was not in a position to make demands on Washington. Local media reported that US Patriot missile defence systems may have been moved from Osan Air Base and could be redeployed to American bases in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
