The United States was targeted in 2001 primarily due to its foreign policies and military presence in the Middle East, which were perceived by extremist groups, particularly al-Qaeda, as oppressive to Muslims and supportive of regimes they opposed. The 9/11 attacks were intended to provoke a military response and rally support for their cause. Additionally, the attacks aimed to instill fear and create a sense of vulnerability within the U.S. and its allies.
