General Dan Caine said the blockade applies to all shipping heading to or from Iranian ports, regardless of nationality.
Meloni’s call for a blockade comes as more than 42,000 unvetted foreigners have arrived in Italy so far this year, up from nearly 30,000 in the same period last year, per figures from the Italian interior ministry.
