ISKP media group raises funds for weapons, heightening regional threats.

On December 7, 2025, a Telegram group associated with the Islamic State Khurasan Province (ISKP) publicly solicited funds for the acquisition of weapons and military equipment. The fundraising effort, led by the Al-Azaim media group, was conducted in multiple languages, including Tajik, English, and Russian, and notably requested donations in Monero cryptocurrency. This development underscores the persistent threat posed by ISKP in the region and raises concerns about the potential for enhanced armed capabilities among extremist factions. The implications of such funding efforts could destabilize security in Central and South Asia, necessitating a robust response from regional and international security forces.
