ISIS-K: Looming Global Threat, UN Warns Security Council
United Nations experts issued a stark warning to the Security Council on Friday, August 1, 2025, highlighting the escalating threat posed by the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K). The group’s growing online recruitment drive and expanding global reach were cited as major concerns.
Experts directly linked recent terror plots worldwide to ISIS-K’s sophisticated propaganda campaigns. This underscores the group’s ability to inspire and direct attacks across continents.
The UN panel expressed grave apprehension about Afghanistan potentially reverting to a haven for terrorists. The resurgence of ISIS-K within Afghanistan poses a significant risk to regional stability and international security.
This alarming assessment necessitates immediate and concerted global action to counter ISIS-K’s influence. Failure to address this growing threat could have devastating consequences for nations worldwide, particularly in South Asia and beyond. The warning serves as a crucial reminder of the persistent danger of transnational terrorism and the need for robust counter-terrorism strategies.
