India’s Ministry of External Affairs has rejected claims that it had allowed the US Navy to use its ports in the war against Iran, Al Jazeera reports.

Douglas McGregor, a former adviser to the US Secretary of Defence, had claimed on the far-right One America News Network (OAN) that American naval ships might be using Indian ports amid the conflict.

“Claims being made on OAN, a US-based channel that Indian ports are being used by the US Navy, are fake and false,” the Indian foreign ministry said. “We caution you against such baseless and fabricated comments.”
