Israel’s next target : Pakistan

Pakistani political analyst Najam Sethi claims

Islamabad (Pakistan) – Taking advantage of instability in Iran, there is a possibility that the United States and Israel may carry out major action against Iran. In this conflict, Israel’s next target could be Pakistan, claimed well-known Pakistani political analyst Najam Sethi.

If the situation in Iran goes out of control, Pakistan could become a target

During the discussion, a viewer asked whether Pakistan would come under threat if a coup happened in Iran. Sethi responded that while the threat is not immediate, pressure on Pakistan will increase. He added that he does not expect the U.S. or Israel to fully succeed in Iran, but if they do, Israel could next target Pakistan. According to Sethi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly stated that he does not want Pakistan or any Islamic country to have nuclear weapons.

Pakistan could use nuclear weapons against India

Senior Pakistani journalist and political analyst Najam Sethi has made a striking claim regarding Pakistan’s nuclear policy and intentions. Speaking on the Pakistani news channel Dunya News, Sethi said that Pakistan’s nuclear program is entirely India-centric.

Sethi repeatedly rejected the narrative of Pakistan possessing an “Islamic bomb.” He emphasized that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is purely targeted against India. He made it clear that Pakistan would not use these weapons against Israel or the United States. The nuclear program is described as defensive, with India being the only intended focus. This highlights Pakistan’s defense policy, which Sethi says is completely oriented against India.

He said Pakistan might abandon its “No First Use” nuclear policy because it cannot stop India through conventional means. According to him, Pakistan’s use of nuclear weapons would be justified in case of a conventional attack, as it would become a matter of national survival.

Pakistan could provide nuclear technology to Gulf countries

Sethi highlighted why Western countries and Israel remain wary. As long as Pakistan retains nuclear weapons, it will face constant international pressure and suspicion. There is a persistent global fear that Pakistan could share nuclear technology with other Islamic nations, particularly those with substantial financial resources, such as wealthy Gulf countries. This possibility raises serious security concerns for Israel and Western nations, according to Sethi.
