India’s Ministry of External Affairs has denied claims that the United States used Indian ports to launch attacks against Iran. The allegation was made by retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor in an interview with One America News Network, where he said US forces were relying on Indian ports amid the ongoing conflict with Iran. The ministry’s fact-check division dismissed the statement as false and warned against spreading fabricated information.
The claim came amid domestic criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for its silence following the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Opposition parties have used the issue to question India’s stance on the Iran conflict. Experts noted that while India and the US signed the Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) in 2016, it does not automatically grant access to Indian facilities without India’s consent.
Defense analysts said India has maintained a neutral position in the Iran-US conflict. They emphasized that rejecting the claim was diplomatically significant, as India seeks to balance relations amid global tensions over the war.
