WASHINGTON — The US military will “actively pursue” any Iranian-flagged vessels or any ships attempting to support the regime elsewhere in the world, Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced Thursday — in an expansion of the blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz. Caine explained that in addition to cutting off the regime’s ports in the critical oil chokepoint, other US military assets will look out for and stop vessels elsewhere, including in the Indo-Pacific region.
