Thu Dec 19 20:31:00 UTC 2024: ## Pakistan’s Missile Program Poses Growing Threat to US: White House
**Washington, D.C. -** A senior White House official has warned that Pakistan’s development of long-range ballistic missiles poses a growing threat to the United States. Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer stated that Pakistan’s increasingly sophisticated missile technology, including capabilities for testing larger rocket motors, could eventually allow it to strike targets beyond South Asia, including within the US. This assertion follows the announcement of new US sanctions targeting Pakistan’s state-run defense agency overseeing the ballistic missile program. Finer described Pakistan’s actions as an “emerging threat” and expressed concern over the ultimate aims of its missile program. The statement comes amidst heightened tensions between the two countries.
