This week the Middle East has been on a knife edge, after the US entered the conflict between Israel and Iran.

Within the last few hours US President Donald Trump has said he would bomb Iran again "without a question. Absolutely" if intelligence were to find that Iran can enrich uranium to a level higher.

After the US bombed Iran's nuclear sites last Sunday, president Trump claimed there was "complete obliteration."

He then announced a ceasefire, but Israeli strikes continued, sparking a furious outburst from Trump who dropped his own f-bomb at NATO summit.
