Several social media users have claimed that the United States used Indian airspace to launch strikes against Iran. However, when we fact-checked the viral claim, it was found to be fake. The US carried out airstrikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran.

Since the post was rapidly going viral on social media, we decided to verify the claim. To investigate this viral claim, we first took the help of Google Open Search and searched for it with the help of related keywords. However, we did not find any reliable media reports that confirm that the US fighter jets used Indian airspace to launch strikes against Iran. However, we found post from fact-check unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) on X, which debunked the social media claim. It clarified that the Indian airspace was not used by the United States during Operation Midnight Hammer.
