25 Years After 9/11: Lasting Impact on US Security and Global Affairs
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, their impact continues to shape the United States and the world. The attacks led to significant changes in national security, including the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, enhanced airport screening, and expanded counterterrorism laws like the USA PATRIOT Act. The US-led War on Terror resulted in prolonged conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, with substantial human and financial costs. The killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011 and the recent US withdrawal from Afghanistan mark key moments in this ongoing legacy.
