Islamic State Khorasan Province

The attack by the Islamic State militant that killed 13 US troops and 170 Afghans happened amid the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

Iran is arguably disappointed with the Taliban, but will Tehran take a step back from the relationship?

In some attacks, a terror group claims credit and then denies involvement. In others, more than one group claims credit.

Will Islamic State Khorasan Province push Beijing to abandon Kabul?

The Islamic State sees great opportunity in the churn of great power competition, with ISKP at the forefront of its vision of international jihad.

Evidence suggests that ISKP’s tentacles have begun spreading across West, Central, and South Asia.

Another tragedy in the largely Hazara Dashti Barchi neighborhood. Another tragedy for Afghanistan’s women. 

The Islamic State movement -- including its Afghanistan iteration -- is vehemently anti-Russia in orientation, criticizing its foreign and domestic policies.

The expansion of ISKP propaganda outreach, recruitment, and fundraising efforts may have significant security implications for countries in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region and possibly beyond. 

The Taliban promised, again, that Afghan soil would not be used to threaten the security of neighboring countries a day after five rockets landed in an Uzbek border town.

Can anything be done to help the Hazaras in Afghanistan?
