A top official from the Trump administration, Tulsi Gabbard, has sparked global attention after naming Pakistan among the biggest nuclear threats to the United States. In her remarks as Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard warned that multiple countries, including Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan, are actively developing advanced missile systems capable of carrying nuclear and conventional payloads. She highlighted that Pakistan’s long-range ballistic missile programme could potentially evolve into intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), raising concerns about its capability to strike targets far beyond its region, including the U.S. homeland.
