Was Jordan’s Princess Salma involved in shooting down of Iranian drones?

D-Intent Data, a news data research and fact-checking agency, took to X to clarify that the news was fabricated. “A digitally altered screenshot of a media outlet has been shared claiming that Princess Salma of Jordan shot down 6 Iranian drones last night. These claims are fake and fabricated. The article’s original headline reads “Princess Salma of Jordan leads Air Force initiative to airdrop medical supplies in Gaza.” It was published on 15 December 2023,” the organisation said.

“INTENT: Propagandists are circulating digitally altered news articles to set their propaganda over the escalating conflict between Israel-Iran,” it further added. Several blue-tick, verified X accounts like Mossad Commentary which often posts pro-Israel content also posted the news and independent media company and pollster Rasmussen Polls, both accounts which are followed by more than 300,000 people on Twitter appeared to back the claim with a quote repost.
