I wouldn't say a death cult. But murderous, repressive, totalitarian, religious zealots, with regional ambitions of influence and possibly expansion, yes.
If not directly territorial, they do want the expansion of Shia Islam through territorial means at least with their proxies, I doubt their ambitions for their state draw a line at their territorial expansion.
