On Wednesday, the United States announced that it is imposing additional sanctions related to Pakistan’s ballistic missile program. The sanctions target four entities identified as contributing to the proliferation or delivery of such weapons.
In a statement released by the US Department of State, it was emphasized that the US remains committed to countering proliferation and procurement activities of concern. The sanctions are being enforced under Executive Order 13382. They target proliferators of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems.
The decision comes amid ongoing concerns regarding the proliferation risks associated with Pakistan’s long-range missile development. This latest move signals Washington’s continued vigilance in curbing activities that pose a potential security threat.
These sanctions follow earlier measures taken in September when the US sanctioned five entities and one individual for facilitating the expansion of ballistic missile technology and equipment to Pakistan.
