My 8-month-old cat has new brown spots in her eye. Is it melanoma?

Question

My 8 month old cat cali was born with a brown mole/freckle in her iris . She is calico . I’ve noticed that now she has developed more spots around her pupil as well but small spots . She is perfectly healthy and is in absolutely no pain. I worry it is iris melanoma . I will attach photos below.

It could be iris melanoma but there is no way to know just by looking at a photo. You should have a veterinary ophthalmologist check the eye if you are really worried. At Cali's age I highly doubt it is melanoma but it is possible.
