Pakistan’s Nukes, An Even Bigger Threat Than Iran?: The United States, Israel, and much of Western Europe have long worked together to ensure Iran doesn’t get its hands on a nuclear weapon. But there is another country just as dangerous as Iran that already has 175 nuclear warheads, and could have as many as 250 by the end of the decade: Pakistan.
Pakistan is one of the shakiest regimes in Western Asia. Ruled by a coalition of politicians and military leaders, the government never seems to have a firm hold on the country and has been dealing with domestic terrorism for a long time.
The United States’ biggest fear is that jihadis flush from success in next-door Afghanistan might try to take over Pakistan with its nuclear stockpile.

Although he was officially speaking to then-South African President Jacob Zuma, his words were directed to others in the room as well.
