Pakistan's planned long-range ballistic missiles capable of striking US: Tulsi Gabbard

Tulsi Gabbard highlighted Pakistan's missile program in the US Intelligence Community's assessment predicting over 16,000 missiles will threaten the US by 2035.

  • On March 18, 2026, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Pakistan's long-range ballistic missile development could include ICBMs capable of striking the US homeland during her Senate Select Committee on Intelligence presentation in Washington, DC.
  • The Annual Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community found China, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, and Russia will prioritise advanced missiles and pair them with cheap, expendable systems.
  • The US Intelligence Community assesses threats will grow from more than 3,000 missiles to over 16,000 by 2035, with North Korea's ICBMs already capable of reaching US soil and a 2025 crypto heist likely funding weapons development.
  • Gabbard said assessments will be updated as the full impact of Operation Epic Fury's strikes on Iran's missile production facilities, stockpiles, and launch capabilities is determined, highlighting rising regional coercion and the US secure nuclear deterrent.
  • Looking farther ahead, the IC says Iran has demonstrated space-launch technology it could use to develop a militarily viable ICBM before 2035, while China and Russia continue advanced delivery system R&D.
