<p>In the shared post, two of the images showed a list of fake accounts, and the other two showed posts and fake claims. In one of the images, a fake account by the Ministry of Defence in Iran is shown, claiming that the Iranian authorities are &ldquo;reconsidering&rdquo; the Chabahar Port agreement with India.</p>
<p>The embassy wrote over the image with the caption &ldquo;Fake News, Fake Account&rdquo;.</p>
<p>&ldquo;India and Iran share a millennia-long history of interactions. The contemporary relationship draws upon the strength of these historical and civilisational ties, and continues to grow further marked by high-level exchanges, commercial and connectivity cooperation, cultural and robust people-to-people ties,&rdquo; according to a Bilateral Brief on the website of Ministry Of External Affairs.</p>
