US President Donald Trump has claimed that Pakistan is secretly conducting underground nuclear tests, linking recent mild tremors in the region to these alleged activities. Speaking during a televised interview, Trump suggested that the seismic activity detected near Pakistan’s borders could be the result of concealed nuclear experiments. He further stated that such developments might prompt the United States to reconsider its own nuclear testing policies after decades of restraint. However, experts have cautioned that Trump’s assertion lacks independent verification. No official confirmation or scientific evidence has been presented to support the claim, and natural seismic movements could also explain the reported tremors. Security analysts have emphasized that verifying underground nuclear tests requires extensive seismic analysis and satellite monitoring. The claim has raised diplomatic concerns across South Asia, with India reportedly monitoring the situation closely. While Islamabad has issued no official response, Trump’s statement has reignited global debate over nuclear transparency, deterrence, and the stability of the subcontinent.
