According to U.S. intelligence assessments, Pakistan is reportedly pursuing the development of a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with the capability to reach the continental United States—a development that could alter regional and global power dynamics.
The Foreign Affairs report indicates that Pakistan's ICBM programme intensified following Operation Sindoor in May. Whilst Pakistan officially states its nuclear arsenal serves solely as deterrence against India, U.S. authorities suspect the ICBM development aims to counter potential American military actions—whether preventive strikes on nuclear facilities or involvement in Indo-Pakistani conflicts.

Pakistan may soon join an exclusive nuclear missile club and here's why the US is worried
*******************
Pakistan is accelerating its program to develop ICBMs to hit the US. Apparently, they are worried about American military actions against their nuclear facilities. I image our bombing of Iran has increased their anxiety. A Pakistan with ICBMs would definitely change global dynamics and would be a very worrisome development. This is not good news for anybody.
