Claim

Prime Minister Modi is touring three Indo-Pacific countries — Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand — from July 6 to July 11, a pre-scheduled program, which made it impossible for him to go to Iran.

“प्रधानमंत्री मोदी 6 जुलाई से 11 जुलाई के बीच इंडोपेसिफिक क्षेत्र के तीन देशों इंडोनेशिया, ऑस्ट्रेलिया और न्यूजीलैंड के दौरे पर जा रहे हैं और ऐसे में संभव नहीं था कि वह ईरान जाए और उनका यह कार्यक्रम पहले से तय था”

Rationale

Multiple independent Indian outlets, reporting on the official itinerary announced around July 3, 2026, confirm the factual core of the claim: PM Modi's pre-scheduled three-nation Indo-Pacific tour to Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand from July 6 to July 11, 2026. The dates, the three countries and the pre-arranged (invitation-based, leg-by-leg) nature of the program all check out. The assertion that this made a trip to Iran impossible is a contextual inference about a scheduling conflict rather than a separately verifiable fact, but it does not contradict the confirmed itinerary, so the overall claim is accurate.
