      "summary": "The May 1998 nuclear tests by India and Pakistan have raised concerns that these countries,\nparticularly Pakistan, might transfer nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction technology to Iran\nor other Middle Eastern states. Iran has developed military ties to both India and Pakistan, and has\ntried to acquire advanced technology from Pakistan, but political and other differences have limited\nthese relationships. There is little evidence that other Middle Eastern countries have tried to acquire\nweapons of mass destruction technology from India or Pakistan. This paper will not be updated.",
