Israel-Iran conflict: What happened so far

Israel's surprise attack on targets across Iran on Friday continues to the fifth day, as both sides threaten to escalate and bring more devastation in the biggest ever confrontation between the archenemies.

Here's what happened in the conflict so far:

• Israel hit more than 100 major targets in Iran on Friday, including nuclear facilities and missile sites, and killed senior military commanders and scientists. 
• Among those killed were senior military figures – including the chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, Maj Gen Mohammad Bagheri, and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Gen Hossein Salami – as well as at least six Iranian nuclear scientists.
• Israeli strikes continued over the weekend and into Tuesday, as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted air defences around Tehran and claimed they had gained control of the skies over the capital. 
• The Iranian oil ministry said Israel had targeted two fuel depots in the Tehran area. Iran has accused Israel of hitting civilian areas in Tehran killing 224 people since Friday. 
• Iran has launched several waves of missiles at Israel since Friday, with Israeli authorities saying at least 14 people had been killed since Friday. 
• Iran warned the US, UK and France that their military bases and ships would be targeted if they helped block the Iranian missile and drone retaliation for Israel's attack. 
• Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened "severe punishment" and claimed residential areas had been targeted. The latest round of US-Iran nuclear talks scheduled for Sunday were cancelled.
• US President Donald Trump on Sunday claimed he was working behind the scenes on a deal, while reports claimed that the president had vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's supreme leader.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said killing Iran's supreme leader would bring an end to the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
• Trump says he's looking for a "real end" to the conflict, not just a truce, after leaving the G7 summit early. Trump denied he left to work on a ceasefire and said something "much bigger" is in the works. 
• Trump has also warned Iranians to evacuate Tehran. Large numbers of people are fleeing Tehran amid fears of even more attacks.
• Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that its missile strikes in Israel hit a military intelligence centre and a Mossad operations planning centre in Herzliya.
