The Ministry of External Affairs' Fact Check Unit has refuted claims circulating on social media that India has threatened Iran and that the Indian Navy has entered the waters against the West Asian nation. The Fact Check Unit has labeled these claims as "false" and has urged citizens to be vigilant against such baseless claims on social media. The Ministry has also dismissed claims circulating online that India has warned Iran that if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the Indian Navy will launch a strong operation against Iran, targeting Iranian installations.
