India Refutes Claims of US Jets Using Its Airspace for Iran Strikes

New Delhi, Jun 23 (PTI) — India has categorically dismissed as "fake" the claims circulating on certain social media platforms suggesting that US fighter jets used Indian airspace to conduct strikes against Iran. The US recently targeted three nuclear facilities in Iran early Sunday, with President Donald Trump issuing a warning of potential further action should Iran choose to retaliate.

The PIB Fact Check unit stated on X that the rumors claiming Indian airspace was used by the US for launching aircraft during Operation #MidnightHammer are entirely false. "These claims are FAKE," clarified the fact check unit, which operates under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

Furthermore, the Press Information Bureau emphasized, "Indian Airspace was NOT used by the United States during Operation #MidnightHammer." During a press briefing, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine provided a detailed explanation of the route taken by US aircraft, which did not involve Indian airspace.
