Gabbard warns of Pakistan missiles as a threat to US, experts respond

The U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has identified Pakistan as a country that, alongside Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, is advancing missile capabilities that could threaten U.S. territory. Gabbard noted Pakistan’s potential development of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that might reach beyond South Asia, although experts question the immediate feasibility of such advancements. The assessment highlights ongoing security challenges in South Asia and the risk of nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Pakistan has not formally responded to these claims, which it has previously labeled as politically motivated.
