Twenty-Five Years After 9/11: US Response and Its Global Impact
Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people in the US, the global response reshaped security and foreign policy. The US launched the 'War on Terror,' including military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, expanded domestic surveillance, and created the Department of Homeland Security. While these efforts aimed to dismantle terrorist networks, they also led to prolonged conflicts, increased polarization, and ongoing security challenges worldwide. The killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011 marked a significant milestone in counterterrorism efforts.
