US Intel Chief Tulsi Gabbard Flags Pakistan Among Top Nuclear Threats to America
Washington: In a hard-hitting global threat assessment, US intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard has flagged Pakistan among the most serious nuclear risks to the United States, alongside Iran, China, Russia and North Korea.
Addressing lawmakers during a high-level briefing, Gabbard warned that these nations are steadily advancing nuclear arsenals and delivery systems, raising the stakes for US national security. The assessment highlights growing alarm over long-range missile capabilities and evolving strategic doctrines that could directly challenge American defenses.
The warning, part of a broader global security review presented before the US Senate, reflects an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape where nuclear deterrence is once again taking centre stage.
With multiple powers accelerating weapons development, the US intelligence community has signalled a sharper, sustained focus on monitoring nuclear expansion and preventing further escalation in an already tense global order.
