Oh yes, the war with Iran is probably the immediate cause.

So they are trying to get it through fear. The US hopes to stoke fear to move the SK government to the right (similar to Japan).

I don't think this is realistic at this point. Compared to Japan, South Korea is a lot more economically dependent on China. Forcing them to choose a side could very likely result in them aligning with China (or becoming neutral).

I agree. I think it's desperation. I don't think it will work.
