The US Added Five Countries to the List of Nuclear Threats
The United States has officially added Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan to the list of states capable of launching a nuclear attack. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This information was disclosed in an annual report prepared by the US government intelligence community. The report states that these countries not only possess nuclear power but are also continuing to develop conventional military capabilities.
They are engaged in researching and developing advanced and conventional missiles. The intelligence community estimates that by 2035, the number of missiles posing a threat to the US is expected to exceed 16,000.
This represents a significant increase from the current level of over 3,000. North Korea has successfully tested intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the entire US territory.
The report also notes that China, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, and Russia continue to prioritize advanced missiles. The intelligence community referred to Russia as the "main problem in the Arctic."
The report emphasized that Moscow is actively supporting global competition to advance its interests in the region. Russia aims to expand its presence through developing maritime trade, extracting natural resources, and military activities in the Arctic.
China, for its part, is using relations with Russia as a primary tool to develop its strategic and economic interests in the Arctic. This is further complicating global competition in the region.
Furthermore, US President Donald Trump emphasized the need to focus on Greenland to ensure national security. In his view, if this region falls out of control, it could come under the control of Russia or China, which would constitute a serious strategic threat.
The report and the President's statement serve as an important signal for experts discussing American and global security issues. This situation affects not only US policy but also the military and geopolitical landscape worldwide.
