“A viral video shows Major General C.S. Mann saying that India is supporting the US and Israel in regime change efforts in Iran and that Pakistan could be strategically pressured from three sides as part of a plan leading toward “Akhand Bharat.”
What FACTLY found
This video is digitally manipulated. The original clip was uploaded by Press Trust of India (PTI) on 4 July 2025 from an earlier event where Major General C.S. Mann was declaring the dates for the “Vivek Se Vijay 2025” mega symposium of the Indian Armed Forces and speaking about eliminating Chinese components from military systems. In the original video, he does not make any remarks about regime change in Iran, Pakistan being pressured from multiple sides, or “Akhand Bharat.” Further analysis...
