Earlier in the day, US Vice President Mike Pence said during a key conference on the Middle East in Poland that Iran was “the greatest threat to peace and security” in the region.

According to the senior official, his visit to Auschwitz concentration camp made him reflect to "strengthen the resolve of the free world to oppose that kind of vile hatred and to confront authoritarian threats of our time."

"We have the regime in Tehran that's breathing out murderous threats, with the same vile anti-Semitic hatred that animated the Nazis in Europe," Pence told reporters on Air Force Two before landing in Munich.
