Israel has hit targets across Iran in recent days, and Iran has pierced Israel's Iron Dome defences.
International affairs editor Dominic Waghorn talks us through each of the biggest attacks.
Several explosions have been heard in Tehran alongside heavy air defence fire, according to Iranian and Russian state media.
Donald Trump has said "everyone" should evacuate Tehran.
It is unclear whether he was referring to US citizens in Iran or the Iranian capital's 14 million residents.
"Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life.
"Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"
The three remaining volunteers detained by Israeli forces after trying to bring aid to Gaza by boat have been released.
The nonprofit Freedom Flotilla Coalition tried to break Israel's sea blockade to deliver much-needed supplies to the besieged enclave.
Among the volunteers was climate activist Greta Thunberg.
She was one of 12 people on board the British-flagged yacht Madleen who were detained and later deported.
Moving away from Iran for a moment, and the head of the World Health Organisation says no fuel has entered Gaza for more than 100 days.
Attempts to retrieve fuel stocks from evacuation zones have been denied, says Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on X.
"This is pushing the health system closer to the brink of collapse.
"Seventeen hospitals, seven field hospitals and 43 primary health centers - barely running on minimum daily fuel - will soon have none left.
"No fuel means no power for ventilators, dialysis machines, anesthesia equipment and incubators.
"No fuel means no medical evacuations or patient transfers can take place.
"No fuel means vaccine cold chain systems could fail.
"No fuel means no functioning field hospitals.
"No fuel means no delivery of medicines and supplies.
"No fuel means no water and sanitation services.
"No fuel means no health care."
Sirens have been heard in Tel Aviv, as a flash of light was seen above the city.
The IDF says missiles have been launched from Iran toward Israel and its Iron Dome is operating to intercept them.
It says sirens have sounded "across Israel" and residents are instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice if they have received an alert.
Donald Trump says he is in "constant touch" with Benjamin Netanyahu and he expects "a deal" with Iran.
Answering a question from Sky's political editor Beth Rigby, Trump says he believes Iran wants to make a nuclear deal.
"As I've been saying, I think a deal will be signed, or something will happen, but a deal will be signed, and I think Iran is foolish not to sign."
Two rescue workers were killed by an Israeli attack in Tehran, the Iranian Red Crescent says.
The humanitarian organisation posted pictures of a charred vehicle they said was an ambulance that took a direct hit in the capital city.
"The attack took place while the rescue forces were carrying out their humanitarian duty and were not engaged in any military activity," the group said.
Sky News cannot independently verify these reports.
Attacks on Iran are starting to resemble Israeli attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, says a senior lecturer in modern Middle Eastern history at the University of St Andrews.
Israel has moved from attacking nuclear and military installations in less densely populated areas to striking targets in the middle of residential areas, says Dr Siavush Randjbar-Daemi.
The IDF told approximately 300,000 people to evacuate Tehran before attacking state TV studios this afternoon.
"Clearly, as targets next to residential areas in broad daylight and during business hours are being struck, there's going to be victims," Randjbar-Daemi tells lead world news presenter Yalda Hakim.
The city has no air raid shelters, he adds.
"Israeli methods, which have started to look really like Gaza and Beirut, will continue to produce civilian casualties moving forward."
He continues: "Many people are realising this is certainly not the way to bring about political change in Iran."
More now on reports of a combined Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel.
Iranian state news outlets cite the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as saying Iran will attack Israel throughout the night.
"Moments ago, the ninth wave of the combined drone and missile attack began and will continue continuously until the morning," the IRGC's General Naeini has said, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency.
