The Reagan Administration has decided to offer 15 and possibly more American-built F-16 fighter planes to Pakistan as part of a five-year economic and military assistance package, Administration officials said today. The F-16 jet fighters are being offered to offset the threat believed to be posed by the Soviet military presence in Afghanistan. The offer is being made by Under Secretary of State James L. Buckley, who is in Pakistan to discuss the $2.5 billion aid package previously proposed by the Administration. Officials said that the proposal on the fighters was approved this week at a National Security Council meeting after Mr. Buckley had already left for Parkistan. Objections were raised by the Office of Management and Budget and by the Air Force, the officials said.

Major league baseball's 650 players, engaged in an 18-month-old labor dispute with team owners, struck regular-season games yesterday for only the second time in history. There was no way to determine immediately how much of the season would be wiped out, but there were concerns that the strike would be a long one. ''Every indication is it's a total roadblock, and we don't have any answers,'' Rusty Staub, the New York Mets' player representative, said after a fruitless 30-minute bargaining session at the Doral Inn in Manhattan yesterday morning. Kenneth E. Moffett, the Federal mediator who was instrumental in helping to avert a baseball strike during the regular season last year, said he would not bring the parties together again until Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Moffett said the two sides were ''pretty deadlocked.'' Mr. Staub, Mr. Moffett and principal negotiators spoke 12 hours after Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, emerged at 12:30 A.M. from a bargaining session that began late Thursday night and announced that the strike was on.

The United Nations Security Council met here this evening in an emergency session on Israel's attack on an Iraqi nuclear reactor. Iraq's Foreign Minister, Saadun Hamadi, accused Israel of ''a clear-cut act of premeditated aggression'' in its raid Sunday against the French-built reactor near Baghdad and urged the Council to call for a halt in military trade with Israel. In reply, Yehuda Blum, Israel's delegate to the United Nations, said his country had ''performed an elementary act of selfpreservation'' in the face of ''a threat of nuclear obliteration'' by an ''implacable enemy.'' The debate that began tonight was expected to reach its climax in a vote on a resolution early next week. A declaration merely condemning Israel might win Security Council approval, but anything stronger would almost certainly face an American veto.

A bill that would require the installation of smoke detectors in more than a million apartments in New York by next Jan. 1 was passed by the City Council's Committee on Housing and Buildings yesterday. The bill, which has been under consideration for two and a half years, is expected to be approved by the full Council on June 30 and to be signed into law by the Mayor in early July. Under the measure, building owners would be required to install detectors in apartments and hotel rooms. But it would not apply to buildings that already have city-approved automatic sprinkler systems in public and private areas.

Lieut. Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, who has been in a public war of words with Governor Carey, but says they have not spoken privately since February, has reactivated his independent campaign committee in preparation for next year's statewide elections. ''I have a committee, I am raising money, I've scheduled a fundraiser,'' Mr. Cuomo said in an interview. ''I know that whatever I do next year, I'll have to run. If you wanted to be Lieutenant Governor, if you wanted to be Governor, if you wanted to be anything, you'd have to run. I'm ready for that.''
