India has officially dismissed allegations circulating on social media that American fighter jets utilized Indian airspace to carry out strikes against Iran.
The accusations emerged following the United States' bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran, an operation that took place early Sunday and included threats of further action if Iran responded in kind.
The Press Information Bureau's Fact Check unit, operating under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, clarified that the claims were false, affirming that US military operations did not involve Indian airspace. US military officials reportedly provided details on the actual routes used.
