It shows Pakistan has history: India on US intel chief's nuclear threat remark
India Today
India flagged Pakistan's clandestine nuclear proliferation history as a global threat, echoing concerns raised in a recent US intelligence assessment.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday said Pakistan’s track record of clandestine nuclear proliferation poses a serious global threat, echoing concerns raised in a recent US intelligence assessment.
Addressing a regular press briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal referred to remarks by US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and said Pakistan’s past continues to raise alarm internationally.
“As far as Pakistan is concerned, they have a history. They have a history of clandestine nuclear nonproliferation, and statements like this again make it clear what kind of threat they pose to the world because of their clandestine nuclear operations,” Jaiswal said.
The remarks come after a report issued on March 18 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) classified Pakistan, along with Russia and China, among countries posing a significant nuclear threat to the United States.
Presenting the 2026 Annual Threat Assessment (ATA) before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Gabbard highlighted concerns over Pakistan’s evolving military capabilities, regional role, and links to terrorism.
The report noted that Pakistan is actively researching and developing a range of advanced missile delivery systems. It also flagged concerns that Islamabad’s long-range ballistic missile programme could potentially include Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) capable of striking the US.
