25 Years Since 9/11: Impact on US Security and Global Counterterrorism
Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, nearly 3,000 people were killed when al-Qaeda hijackers crashed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks reshaped US national security, foreign policy, and global counterterrorism efforts, leading to the prolonged 'War on Terror' including wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. While Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011, the legacy of 9/11 continues to influence security policies, international relations, and public memory worldwide.
