War in the Middle East is also becoming a war of words - as the conflict enters its second week.

Meanwhile, there's been reports Iran's new Supreme Leader could be chosen within 24 hours.

The Economist's Middle East Correspondent, Gregg Carlstrom, says the narrative of this war is constantly changing - especially from US President Donald Trump.

"A week ago, he was saying he wanted to give Iran back to the people of Iran, he wanted to free the people of Iran. Now he's talking about having a hand in picking the new Supreme Leader of Iran, which sounds rather contradictory."
