India Slams 'Baseless' Claims: US Navy Not Using Its Ports for Iran Strikes

• Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) strongly rejected claims that US Navy is using Indian ports for attacks against Iran.
• The MEA's FactCheck handle called allegations by One America News (OAN) "fake and false," cautioning against "baseless and fabricated comments."
• OAN, a US conservative network, cited unnamed "military sources" claiming Indian naval facilities were used for operations targeting Iranian assets.
• India emphasized the safety and well-being of nearly ten million Indian citizens in the Gulf region as a top priority amidst rising West Asia tensions.
• The clarification follows recent US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and subsequent Iranian retaliation.
