Claim: Air Marshal Anil Chopra's suggestion for India to join Greece, Cyprus and Israel to form a Mediterranean QUAD to oppose an Islamic NATO of Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia has caused a sensation in Greek-language media.

Fact-check: This post is fake propaganda. The image and narrative originate from India-linked propaganda accounts that frequently recycle old images and videos from past events and present them as recent incidents in Pakistan. Evidence indicates the people and locations in the image are Indian rather than Pakistani, and there are signs of digital manipulation or AI-generated content. This is misinformation circulated by Indian media outlets, not a credible report.
