President Joe Biden stated that just hours before the attack, driver Shamsud-Din Jabbar posted videos on social media showing he was inspired by IS, reflecting the ongoing threat of the group's ideology.
The Islamic State, despite being routed from its 'caliphate', remains a dangerous entity, inspiring global attacks and lone wolf strategies that target civilians indiscriminately, driven by its radical ideology.
IS has transitioned from a territorial force to inspiring violent acts worldwide, focusing not on large-scale attacks but on inciting individuals drawn to its extremist views, posing a persistent threat.
Originally a splinter from al-Qa'ida, IS seized control of significant territory in the Middle East, committing atrocities against various groups while targeting those who opposed its extreme interpretations of Islam.
