U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited global debate by alleging that Pakistan is secretly conducting underground nuclear tests — a claim Pakistan strongly denies. Trump grouped Pakistan with Russia, China, and North Korea, suggesting they conduct concealed tests that cause small seismic events.
These allegations are especially sensitive given Pakistan’s nuclear history and its strategic rivalry with India. The comments have triggered renewed concerns about an arms race in South Asia, with analysts speculating whether India could seek international verification through the UN or CTBTO.
While Pakistan rejects the accusations as baseless, the political shockwave has intensified regional tensions and revived discussions about nuclear transparency, deterrence, and future security dynamics in Asia.
