Iran Warns War Could Spread to Indian Ocean if US Attacks Again

An adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned on September 24, 2026, that a new war with the United States could expand into the Indian Ocean if the US or Israel attacks Iran again. The adviser, identified as Mojtaba, issued the warning directly to the US, saying Iran may take the conflict beyond its borders. The threat follows earlier strikes and reflects Iran's stated willingness to widen any future confrontation. The warning raises concerns about the security of a major global shipping route and its impact on oil prices.
