The Ex-CIA Officer Whose Life Was Ruined for Taking Action against Pakistan’s Nukes | Richard Barlow

From 1985 to 1988, Richard Barlow worked with America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), tracking how Pakistan secretly built its nuclear weapons program and how Washington chose to ignore it. But when he exposed the truth, the U.S. government turned against him. In this episode of ANI Broadcast with Ishaan Prakash, Barlow recounts explosive moments from his years inside the CIA, from intelligence reports of “nuclear weapons being mounted on Pakistan’s F-16s” to the chilling confirmation that “we knew those Pakistani F-16 jets could carry nukes, without any doubt.” He also reveals how a Pakistani general involved in nuclear smuggling was secretly tipped off by U.S. officials. Barlow also speaks about a proposed Israel-India preemptive strike on Pakistan’s Kahuta nuclear facility, saying, “It’s a shame Indira didn’t approve it. Would have solved a lot of problems.” And for telling the truth, he paid the ultimate price: “My life was destroyed. I lost my job, my marriage, and everything I had.” This episode uncovers how political deals, double standards, and denial allowed one of the world’s most rogue nations to build nuclear weapons.
