"US Homeland Faces Inevitable ISIS-K Threat After Moscow Attack"

ISIS-K, the terrorist organization responsible for the recent attack in Moscow, has expressed a desire to target the United States but lacks the capability to do so at present. The group, known for its brutality, considers Russia and many western countries to be anti-Muslim and seeks to strike the homeland. However, U.S. security measures have proven resilient, making it challenging for ISIS-K to penetrate. While the group retains the ability to export attacks, its reach appears limited, and pressure from the ruling Taliban in Afghanistan has disrupted its ability to strike in the U.S. and other western nations, although it could regenerate and pose a threat with little warning. The U.S. has a "duty to warn" policy to protect Americans abroad and prompt foreign governments to prevent attacks, but Russia does not reciprocate by providing similar information to the U.S.
