In a major information warfare revelation, India has dismantled a fake narrative linking it to the US strike on IRIS Dena. Social media was flooded with claims that India helped the United States target Iran, but investigations traced the campaign back to coordinated networks allegedly based in Pakistan. The operation showed clear signs of structured amplification, with synchronized posts, repeated messaging, and emotional content driving engagement. Multiple ideological groups unknowingly amplified the narrative, turning a false claim into a global trend. Indian agencies and fact-checkers quickly exposed the misinformation, revealing a broader pattern of propaganda and deepfake usage. The episode underlines a growing threat — digital warfare aimed at shaping perception and influencing global opinion against India.
