Iran Warns Of Fake Social Media Accounts Attempting To Harm Bilateral Ties With India
The Iranian Embassy in India identified fake social media accounts posing as Iranian entities and spreading misinformation, including false claims about reconsidering the Chabahar Port agreement.
The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in India released a list of social media accounts on Saturday and said that they were “fake channels” attempting to damage Iran-India relations. Sharing four images in a post on social media platform X, the embassy said, “Some fake channels, under the name of Iran, are attempting to damage Iran-India relations. These accounts do not belong to Iran.”

In the shared post, two of the images showed a list of fake accounts, and the other two showed posts and fake claims. In one of the images, a fake account by the Ministry of Defence in Iran is shown, claiming that the Iranian authorities are “reconsidering” the Chabahar Port agreement with India.
The embassy wrote over the image with the caption “Fake News, Fake Account”.
“India and Iran share a millennia-long history of interactions. The contemporary relationship draws upon the strength of these historical and civilisational ties, and continues to grow further marked by high-level exchanges, commercial and connectivity cooperation, cultural and robust people-to-people ties,” according to a Bilateral Brief on the website of Ministry Of External Affairs.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Iran in May 2016. He met President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan in October 2024.
