India debunks social media claims that US used Indian airspace to launch strikes against Iran

India on Sunday dismissed as “fake” claims by certain social media handles that the US fighter jets used Indian airspace to launch strikes against Iran. The US bombed three nuclear sites in Iran overnight, with President Donald Trump warning of additional strikes if Iran retaliates.

“Several social media accounts have claimed that Indian Airspace was used by the United States to launch aircrafts against Iran during Operation #MidnightHammer. This claim is FAKE,” PIB Fact Check said in a post on X.

“Indian Airspace was NOT used by the United States during Operation #MidnightHammer,” said the fact check unit of the Press Information Bureau that functions under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

It said that the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine had explained the route used by US aircraft during a press briefing.

Ridiculous.

India has invested in Chahbahar port in a major cooperation accord. We will threaten our own strategic thinking?

India’s neutrality is the correct posture in Middle East imbroglio.

It's Pakistani Munir who gave the air space to hit Iran , after Lunch with Trumph.

Well, US did set decoy to fool iran's air defence. And also they flew nonstop from us directly targeting those nuclear sites...
