The Islamic State, particularly its Khorasan Province (IS-K), is demonstrating a concerning resurgence, with its core provinces in Iraq and Syria remaining degraded but showing an ability to diversify at the periphery. @azelin explains that IS-K plots should be considered the organization's biggest global threat today. This resurgence includes capitalizing on vulnerabilities in Central Asia, as noted by @wani_ayjaz, employing various recruitment tactics, and maintaining an active digital outreach that poses a significant security threat not only within Afghanistan but also in neighboring countries, according to @SoumyaAwasthi17. The Syrian Kurdish commander, as reported by @amberinzaman, has expressed concerns about the weakening resolve of the US-led anti-ISIS coalition, a sentiment echoed five years after the collapse of ISIS's so-called caliphate at the hands of this coalition. Additionally, the recent Islamic State-Khorasan attack in Moscow has underscored the persistent threat posed by the organization, challenging the notion that ISIS was a problem of the past, as @ColinPClarke writes. @misterEpete warned that ISIS and its affiliates have shown themselves to be a resilient, patient foe capable of evolving to meet new challenges.
The Islamic State-Khorasan attack in Moscow surprised many who may have believed that the Islamic State was a problem of the past. But in reality, it never left, @ColinPClarke writes. https://t.co/qjGjcT7tOa
