Intent:
Pakistan based propaganda accounts are circulating false claims about India-Iran relations to set their anti-India propaganda whereas Iran strikes militant group Jaish al-Adl bases in Pakistan. News has been shared claiming that Iran says it will limit Indian activity on its Chabahar Port as reports emerge that RAW may be helping MOSSAD in gathering Intel about Iran’s sensitive installations. The truth is that these claims are false and unfounded.

We also discussed the International North-South Transportation Corridor. India and Iran have reached an agreement on India’s first foreign port project, Chabahar Port. The new long-term agreement will replace the original contract, which is valid for ten years and can be extended.
Conclusion:
Claim : Iran says it will limit Indian activity on its Chabahar Port as reports emerge that RAW may be helping MOSSAD in gathering Intel about Iran’s sensitive installations.
Fact : The fact is that these claims are fake and baseless.
