Pakistan is a nuclear power and its nuclear weapons are not aimed at the United States. Its nuclear weapons are largely a deterrent against any Indian adventure.
Why is the United States restless about Pakistan’s Islamic identity?
Prior to the 2002 general elections, the Islamists could not muster more than 5 percent of the votes. But the situation changed in 2002 the Islamic alliance Muttahida Majils e-Amal (MMA) won 60 seats and became an influential kingmaker in Pakistan politics.
Such a possibility heightens US anxiety. An Islamist leader, who is more likely to follow an anti-US policy, may offer resistance to US policy in Afghanistan.
The proliferation of nuclear weapons will pose a major threat to US hegemonic designs and neutralize Israel's military dominance in West Asia.
In short, it poses a major threat to US security interests. So denuclearizing Pakistan is one of the national interest objectives of the United States.
