"We will work with our allies, including our friends and allies in the Muslim world, to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet.

He said he also has imposed new sanctions on entities and individuals who support Iran's ballistic missile program, and reaffirmed the United States "unbreakable alliance with the State of Israel."
