Pakistan is more powerful than Iran and Israel, total nuclear warheads of Islamabad are…, India has…
Amid the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, Pakistan, which faced defeat by India during Operation Sindoor, has made its entry and again reiterated its old threat of nuclear weapons. Iran’s National Security Council member and IRGC General Mohsen Rezaei recently stated that Islamabad had assured Iran that it would launch nuclear retaliation against Israel if the Middle Eastern country were attacked by a nuclear weapon. During a televised interview, Mohsen Rezaei said, “Pakistan has assured us that if Israel uses a nuclear bomb on Iran, they will retaliate with a nuclear bomb on Israel,” Rezaei stated. However, Islamabad has firmly denied this claim.
The ongoing missile exchanges between Iran and Israel have claimed around 248 deaths, 230 in Iran and 18 in Israel.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Pak’s nuclear weapons have been highlighted and referred to during a conflict.
Earlier in April this year, Pak Minister Hanif Abbasi openly threatened India with nuclear retaliation, stating that missile systems—Ghori, Shaheen, and Ghaznavi- along with 130 nukes are “kept only for India.”
According to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, here is detailed information on Pakistan’s nuclear strength.
- Pakistan’s Nuclear Arsenal: The country has 100-120 nukes.
- Delivery Methods: These nuks are designed to deliver through aircraft and land-based missiles.
- Storage Protocols: It’s believed that during peacetime, Islamabad stores its nuclear weapons separately from their delivery systems.
- Official Stance: The Strategic Plans Division, responsible for managing the country’s weapons stockpile, has not publicly acknowledged the reported deployment plans.
- Warhead Material: Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is reportedly based on highly enriched uranium.
- HEU Stockpile (2014): It is estimated that HEU stockpile is at 2.7 to 3.5 tonnes for military purposes.
