“伊斯兰国”成立于2013年，由伊拉克的“基地”组织分支演变而来，目前已经成为一个强大的自治实体，其目标是重划中东版图，建立一个政教合一的国家。“伊斯兰国”的迅速崛起让世界各国为之震惊，纷纷表态坚决反对这一武装势力，地区大国、世界大国围绕“伊斯兰国”的博弈也随即展开。以沙特、叙利亚、伊拉克、伊朗、土耳其为代表的地区大国和以美国、法国、俄罗斯、中国为代表的世界大国都已在博弈舞台上悉数登场。
ISIS was founded in 2013，and it was evolved as the branch of al Qaeda in Iraq. The group has referred to itself as the Islamic State，or IS，ever since it proclaimed a worldwide caliphate in June 2014 and was named by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi，its caliph. As a caliphate，it claims religious，political and military authority over all Muslims worldwide.
ISIS’s expanding claims to territory，which have brought it into armed conflict with many governments，militias and other armed groups. International rejection of ISIS as a terrorist entity and rejection of its claim to even exist have placed it in conflict with countries around the world.
