CommandEleven’s Q1 2025 threat compilation — covering terrorism alerts, active incidents, and emerging threat vectors across the United States, Europe, and MENA for January–March 2025.
As the United States begins its troop drawdown/withdrawal from Syria, they have also informed the Syrian regime, through a mid-level US official during diplomatic meetings in Brussels.
The conditions are designed to test the intentions of President Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, the self-appointed leader of Syria since the overthrow of the Bashar al-Assad government in December 2024.

The announcement of the “newly formed high powered committee” comically named “Iron Shield,” is just another failure for Pakistan’s inept national security infrastructure.
Pakistan’s security situation has long evolved as a consequence of the complex intersection of multiple factors, including geopolitical dilemmas, internal dissension, and history. The recently suggested notion of Pakistan being a hard state—one that prioritises security over other aspects of governance and socio-economic development—is being widely debated in drawing rooms, a select few editorials and op-eds, and YouTube vlogs.

Syed Khalid Muhammad, Executive Director of CommandEleven, spoke in detail with Sputnik India’s Pawan Atri about Pakistan’s challenges with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Taliban government in Kabul.
Things were difficult for the Pakistan Army to begin with, to say the least, but with the wave that is sweeping across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa now, things have gotten tremendously more difficult.
