Middle East war: Deepfake of Indian general used to claim India-Israel alliance

From AFP News Agency.

An Iranian ship was sunk by a US submarine off the coast of Sri Lanka on March 4, 2026, killing at least 84 sailors. Just a few days later, a video was shared online seeming to show India’s army chief saying that his country had shared the frigate’s location with Israel – but the declaration is fabricated. The original footage is old and shows the general discussing India’s military operation against Pakistan in 2025 and detection tools found the audio track in the circulating video was generated with AI.
