The Iranian Embassy in India on Saturday warned that several fake social media accounts are impersonating official Iranian entities in an apparent attempt to undermine Iran-India relations.
“Some fake channels, under the name of Iran, are attempting to damage Iran-India relations. These accounts do not belong to Iran," the embassy stated in a post shared on X.
The embassy shared a list of multiple fraudulent accounts, some of which displayed the paid subscription blue verification tick, making them appear authentic to casual users.
According to the post, the impersonating profiles included fake accounts posing as Iranian Armed Forces handles and others pretending to represent Iranian government ministries.
Among the false claims circulated, one post alleged that Iran was reconsidering the Chabahar port agreement with India because US B-2 bombers had supposedly used Indian airspace for strikes on Iran. "Iran is reconsidering its Chabahar port agreement with India following revelations that US B-2 bombers used Indian airspace for strikes on Iran," it read.
Despite rising global tensions, the two countries have long maintained cooperation over the strategic Chabahar port, which serves as a key trade and connectivity hub linking India to Afghanistan and Central Asia.
