Recent reports and intelligence indicate that the Islamic State, particularly ISIS-K, has been actively recruiting militants from Tajikistan and other Central Asian countries, with a focus on individuals with experience and Russian language skills. The group has capitalized on vulnerabilities in Central Asia, drawing citizens to join their movement. Connections between ISIS-K and Moscow terrorists have been disclosed, leading to fears of potential attacks in the US and Europe. Retired US military officials suggest that Russia could have prevented the recent ISIS-K attack in Moscow, which resulted in over 130 casualties. US officials warn of the potential for ISIS-K terrorists to infiltrate the US, possibly through the US-Mexico border, to carry out attacks similar to the Moscow incident. Counter-terrorism officials express concerns over the possibility of ISIS-K staging terror attacks on American soil, with some labeling such attacks as 'inevitable.'
