A comprehensive fact-check review has confirmed that a viral tweet from the account @soldierspeaks on X (formerly Twitter) claiming 'Chabahar Port was reportedly attacked by American strikes' is entirely fake propaganda. The post, which also bizarrely calls for comment from 'Field Marshal Asim Munir' (an unofficial title for Pakistan's army chief), originates from a network of India-linked propaganda accounts known for spreading disinformation against Pakistan and Iran. Multiple credible sources—including Iranian state media, international news agencies, and US defense spokespersons—have confirmed that no such attack occurred. The Chabahar Port remains operational and secure. This fabricated narrative appears designed to stoke regional tensions and undermine the strategic partnership between Iran and Pakistan. In this editor's opinion, such reckless disinformation not only harms diplomatic relations but also erodes public trust in genuine news. Readers are urged to verify any breaking news about military strikes through official channels before sharing.
