Sri Lanka’s Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has warned that the ongoing West Asia conflict may now be spilling into the Indian Ocean region. Speaking to WION, Premadasa raised concerns over the presence of an Iranian vessel in Indian Ocean waters, cautioning that the war between Israel and Iran could expand beyond its current theatre. He described the Indian Ocean as a traditionally peaceful maritime zone and urged global powers to prevent further escalation that could threaten regional stability, trade routes, and security.
