Where is ISIS now?

As of late 2023, ISIS has largely lost its territorial control in Iraq and Syria, but it remains active as a terrorist organization, conducting sporadic attacks in the region. The group has shifted its focus to insurgency tactics, operating in remote areas and utilizing sleeper cells to maintain its influence. Additionally, ISIS has sought to expand its presence in other regions, including parts of Africa and Afghanistan, where it continues to recruit and orchestrate violent acts. Despite being weakened, its ideology and ability to carry out attacks pose ongoing challenges to regional and global security.
