NewzAn adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued a warning on Thursday that Tehran may expand the ongoing Middle East conflict to the Indian Ocean. The statement was issued in direct response to the possibility of further military actions by the United States against Iranian interests or regional allies.
The threat marks a potential escalation in the scope of regional hostilities. By citing the Indian Ocean as a theater for future conflict, the Iranian official signaled a strategic intent to project power beyond the immediate Middle East region should U.S. strikes resume.
