An adviser to Iran's supreme leader has warned that Tehran may expand the current Middle East conflict to the Indian Ocean if the United States or Israel launches another attack. According to Daily Times, the adviser, Yahya Rahim Safavi, who advises Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, issued the warning.
The conflict has already spread beyond the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Red Sea, as per The Vibes. Channel News Asia notes that the Indian Ocean is home to a strategic US-British military base at Diego Garcia, nearly 4,000km from Iran.
Safavi's warning was reported by multiple outlets, including Punch Nigeria and The Vibes, which both stated that any new US or Israeli attack could lead Iran to expand the conflict.
