“ISKP follows macro geopolitical shifts and rising tensions between the great powers very closely, publishing online propaganda detailing analysis of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and strategic maneuvering between the United States and China around Taiwan," Lucas Webber, a senior threat intelligence analyst at Tech Against Terrorism and research fellow at the Soufan Center.
"The group welcomes wars between the great powers that would weaken them and overtly states its intent to exploit existing and potential conflicts to strike its adversaries while distracted and overstretched," he added.
"Since the Hamas attack on October 7, [2023], Israel's military response, and the consequent protracted conflict," Webber said, "ISKP has been publishing a high volume of online propaganda content to tap into grievances fueled by the war and incite supporters to violence against the U.S. and West for supporting Israel."
"ISKP's Voice of Khurasan magazine, which is disseminated on the Internet, social media platforms, and messaging applications, features frequent calls for attacks and tactical advice on weapons and target selection.""
