I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

Might be a good time to change domain while you're at it, if .io is about to be retired.
It probably won't be.
Not only is the agreement between the UK and Mauritius on the brink of collapsing (bizarrely, the UK is trying to get rid of territory and Mauritius doesn't particularly want it very much), but there's so much reliance on the .io domain that it's unlikely to be removed.
Especially because tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple make use of it.
ICANN is pretty strict about this following some complications that happened back in the 90's . No country, no country code, no domain. No matter who, no matter what.
Though they have made odd decisions before. IO is generic and widely-used enough that it doesn't seem implausible that they might change it to not be tied to the Indian Ocean territories.
