This is what has happened in recent days.
Thursday, June 12
The recent weeks' talks between the US and Iran have come to a standstill. Both parties want an agreement – the US wants Iran to stop uranium enrichment and Iran wants to get rid of sanctions against the country. Despite this, the parties seem to have reached a dead end. Iran announces that it plans a new enrichment facility.
The US is taking home non-essential personnel from the region, as Iran threatens to respond to any attacks from Israel by attacking American targets.
Night towards Friday, June 13
Shortly after 2 am Swedish time, night towards Friday, explosions are heard in Iran's capital Tehran. For several hours, the attacks continue, carried out with 200 fighter jets. The attacks are mainly directed against Iran's nuclear energy program, including the nuclear energy facility Natanz in central Iran.
The powerful Revolutionary Guard's leader Hossein Salami is killed, as well as the defense chief Mohammad Bagheri, in attacks on residential areas in Tehran. Other military leaders and several of Iran's most prominent nuclear physicists are also killed, according to Iranian state media.
The attacks are the largest on Iranian soil since the war between Iran and Iraq in the 1980s. Israel has stated that they will continue.

Just a few hours after Israel's initial attacks, Israel reports that Iran has sent over 100 drones against the country, which Israel claims to have shot down.
Several countries in the region have closed their airspace, causing major flight disruptions.
Day and evening of June 13.
Israel refers to satellite images that allegedly show "significant damage" at the nuclear facility in Natanz. Iran claims that the damage is mostly on the surface, which would mean that the more important underground parts of the facility have survived.
Iran no longer plans to participate in the nuclear technical talks with the US that were scheduled to take place in Oman on Sunday.
Iran calls an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
In the evening, Iran responds with a wave of missiles against, among other things, Tel Aviv in Israel. Video clips and images show how the Iranian missiles are shot down by the Israeli air defense, but also how missiles hit the city.
Over 60 people have been injured and a woman killed in Israel in Friday's attacks, according to medical reports, reports The Jerusalem Post.
At least 78 people have been killed and over 320 injured in Iran, according to the country's UN ambassador Amir Iravani.
