Iran threatens to expand war to Indian Ocean if US attacks again

An adviser to Iran's supreme leader has warned that Tehran may expand the Middle East war to the Indian Ocean if the US or Israel attacks again. According to Business Recorder, Yahya Rahim Safavi made the statement in a video released by Iran's Fars news agency.

Safavi said that since the conflict has spread from the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea, it is possible that the front will expand even further, reaching the Indian Ocean and perhaps beyond.

The Indian Ocean covers approximately 70.5 million square kilometres, as per Hindustan Times - World News.
