A former senior scientist in Pakistan's nuclear program, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Iranian scientists had expressed interest in"non-peaceful nuclear matters.".
This would make India more willing to use nuclear weapons against Pakistan before the latter does, so as to completely disarm it to ensure that Indian cities would not be exposed to Pakistani nuclear strikes.
Following the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, Washington toughened its stance on Pakistan's nuclear program and, after the 1998 nuclear tests(which were in response to similar moves by India), imposed harsh new sanctions.
Although Pakistan's nuclear tests had dispelled this scepticism, senior Indian military and political leaders continue to express doubts on the operational capability and usability of the Pakistani arsenal.
In Cohen's opinion,“present-day Pakistani nuclear planning and doctrine is descended directly from this early exposure to Western nuclear strategizing; it very much resembles American thinking of the mid-1950s with its acceptance of first-use and the tactical use of nuclear weapons against onrushing conventional forces.”.
The intention of Riyadh would be to collect the debt that the country boasts Arabia with Pakistan as a result of large investments in the billions of dollars, made to finance the Pakistani nuclear program, the main Gulf monarchy would thus have a nuclear device already tested and ready in time almost immediate, surpassing Tehran in a possible nuclear arms race, which promises to be almost certain.
Two months before the May 1998 nuclear tests conducted by India and Pakistan, a delegation from the Pugwash Movement met in Delhi with Prime Minister Inderjit Kumar Gujral.
