A senior White House official on Thursday said nuclear-armed Pakistan is developing long-range ballistic missile capabilities that eventually could allow it to strike targets well beyond South Asia, making it an 'emerging threat' to the United States, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Friday.
National Security Deputy Adviser John Feiner says they have repeatedly raised concerns about missile programme with IslamabadA Shaheen-III missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads is displayed during Pakistan Day parade in Islamabad.
John Feiner’s speech came a day after Washington announced a new round of sanctions related to Pakistan's ballistic missile development programme, including against the state-run defence agency that oversees the programme. According to Reuters news agency, two senior US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that Washington's concerns over Pakistan's missile programme have been longstanding and stem from the size of the missile engines being developed.
Western media have noted that the statement from the American official about a new threat could highlight how the once close ties between Washington and Islamabad have deteriorated following the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 and the return of the Taliban to power in the country.
