A viral video circulating on social media falsely claiming to show Indian politician Shashi Tharoor criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Pakistan’s role in a US-Iran ceasefire has been debunked as AI-manipulated content. Fact-checkers found that the clip was taken from an older interview and altered using AI-generated voice dubbing. Visual and audio inconsistencies, along with forensic analysis, confirmed the presence of synthetic manipulation, while no credible sources reported such remarks. The spread of the video highlights growing concerns around deepfakes and their role in shaping political narratives and misinformation during sensitive geopolitical developments.
