ISIS threatened the US primarily due to its opposition to American involvement in the Middle East, particularly military actions in Iraq and Syria. The group sought to position itself as a defender of Sunni Muslims against perceived Western aggression and influence. Additionally, ISIS aimed to inspire fear and recruit followers by framing the US as a primary enemy in its larger narrative of jihad. These threats were part of a broader strategy to gain legitimacy and support within extremist circles.
