The Ministry of External Affairs has debunked various fake claims being peddled on social media amid the ongoing West Asia conflict. In a social media post, the Fact Check Unit of the Ministry of External Affairs busted a post claiming that Iran has rejected India’s attempts to secure a guaranteed safe passage for its ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The MEA also busted a digitally altered video of the former Chief of the Army Staff, General Manoj Pande, making a statement on the Indian Armed Forces. The Ministry urged citizens to stay alert against fake and manipulated videos on social media.
