The claim
The video shows Hafiz Saeed’s recent remarks in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor in May 2025.

FACTLY found that the video dates to 2017, not to the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. It reports that the clip was uploaded by AP Archive in February 2017 and shows Saeed after his detention in January 2017; it also says there were no credible reports of him speaking to the media after Operation Sindoor in May 2025.[S1]
