Pakistan’s First-Use Nuclear Doctrine, Proliferation Raises Global Security Concerns after Constitutional Amendment 2025: Fair Observer Report

VoM News Desk, July 14, 2026: The nuclear threat in the current times means the zero chance survival of beings on planet earth, and thw concerns regarding the Pakistan’s nuclear bust are increasing day by day. The recent constitutional amendment 2025 in Pakistan has added the fuel to these concerns as the military controls all the senstive issues. The most concerning is the doctrine of pakistan military.

Pakistan’s nuclear doctrine and military-led command structure continue to draw international scrutiny, with a report warning that the country’s “First Use” policy and expanded military control over nuclear weapons could heighten regional security risks.

The Pakistan’s nuclear strategy rejects the No First Use (NFU) doctrine and is based on “full-spectrum deterrence,” allowing the possibility of using nuclear weapons first in a conflict, as per, the report of Fair Observer.

Adding to concern, the report has cited the former Pakistani military strategist Khalid Ahmed Kidwai as saying the doctrine is designed to counter India across all levels of warfare.
Pakistan’s 2025 constitutional amendment also made its presense in the report, which reportedly places operational control of the country’s nuclear arsenal under the Chief of Defence Forces, making it the only nuclear-armed nation where such authority rests with a single military officer.

The reports also raises the concern over the development of Tactical Nuclear Weapons (TNWs), warning that their deployment could lower the threshold for nuclear conflict and increase the risk of miscalculation or unauthorised use during conventional military engagements.

Another aspect which is being viewed is the Pakistan’s nuclear proliferation history, alleging that scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan established an international network that transferred sensitive nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya. The report stated that this pattern could not have operated for years without the involvement of military and intelligence officials.
