Claim 2: “Barely a month after being voted out of office”
CORROBORATED
The Wire reports that as of 'the 4th of last month', West Bengal is now a 'Bharatiya Janata Party ruled state', implying the previous government (TMC) was voted out. Wikipedia confirms that Legislative Assembly elections were held in April 2026 and results were released on May 4, 2026, and that a split in the TMC occurred on June 2, 2026, following the elections. This aligns with the claim of being voted out approximately one month prior to a June publication date.

Claim 3: “U.S. military launches 13th night strikes on Iran”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While Wikipedia confirms a '2026 Iran war' involving US and Israeli airstrikes starting February 28, 2026, there is no specific mention of a '13th night of strikes' in the provided evidence. The evidence confirms the state of war and the existence of strikes, but not the specific count of 13 nights.
