The Press Information Bureau’s (PIB) Fact Check unit in India has addressed recent misinformation circulating on social media regarding the US military’s Operation Midnight Hammer, a covert mission targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Key points from the PIB’s clarification include:
- The US military did not use Indian airspace during the operation.
- Claims suggesting that American aircraft flew over India as part of the mission are categorically false.
- India’s airspace remains under strict surveillance and control, with any foreign military activity being highly regulated.
This fact check is especially important because the false information could lead to unnecessary tension and misunderstandings between India and other nations.
Authorities continue to emphasize the need to verify news carefully before sharing on social media, particularly on delicate geopolitical issues. India maintains its stance of neutrality and respect for international boundaries in global affairs.
