United States Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday told lawmakers that Pakistan’s advancing missile programme could eventually bring the American mainland within its reach, placing Pakistan in a group of nations - comprising Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran - that pose a threat to the US.
Speaking at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on global threats, Gabbard said Islamabad’s long-range ballistic missile efforts may evolve into intercontinental systems capable of targeting the United States.
