The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is set to hold a special meeting on Monday to assess the threats posed by ISIS.

During the meeting, members will review a six-month report by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, which identifies ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K) as a serious threat originating from Afghanistan.

The report highlights recent ISIS attacks and suggests that these assaults may have been carried out to undermine the "Taliban’s" achievements in ensuring security.

A section of the UN Secretary-General’s report states: "The report says that ISIL-K supporters have plotted attacks in Europe, including in France, where authorities arrested an 18-year-old who planned to carry out an attack on French soil in July 2024. It also highlights the 11 December 2024 ISIL-K suicide bombing that killed Taliban Minister of Refugees and Repatriation Khalil Ahmed Haqqani, noting that it may have been an attempt to undermine the Taliban’s claims regarding its ability to maintain security in Afghanistan.”

Although the Islamic Emirate has not officially commented on the report, it has previously denied that Afghan territory poses any threat to other countries.

Kamran Aman, a military analyst, stated: "These are proxy and intelligence-backed groups hired under the name of ISIS by foreign countries. Their goal is to target Afghans and foreign nationals to achieve their own strategic objectives."

Another military analyst, Zalmay Afghan-Yar, emphasized the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism: "When a matter reaches the UN Security Council, it becomes a global issue. If Afghanistan is dealing with terrorism, why doesn’t the world collaborate with Afghanistan to ensure this fight is carried out effectively?"

The UNSC meeting on ISIS threats comes as the Islamic Emirate has previously claimed that ISIS operates under Pakistani jurisdiction, citing available evidence.
