U.s. airstrikes have been hitting the jihadists in Iraq. Those strikes will be extended to ISIS focuses in Syria, Obama said.
"I have made it clear that we will chase down terrorists who undermine our nation, wherever they are," he said. "That implies I won't delay to make a move against ISIL in Syria, and also Iraq. This is a center rule of my administration: on the off chance that you undermine America, you will discover no place of refuge."
