BBC LIVE Summary

Strikes by Israel and Iran continue as the conflict between the two countries intensifies.

On Sunday, Israeli strikes killed the chief of Iran's armed forces intelligence unit - meanwhile, more than 10 Israelis are reported to have been injured following Iranian strikes.

This comes after Israel attacked Iran early on Friday, hitting nuclear facilities, military sites and populated areas. Iran has responded with drones and ballistic missiles.

US President Donald Trump says the two sides should make a deal, adding calls and meetings are taking place as the escalation stretches into a third day, but Iran says it will not negotiate a ceasefire while under attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says "the issue here is not de-escalation", but stopping Iran from developing its nuclear capability.

Iran's health ministry reports that at least 224 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since Friday, while at least 10 Israelis were killed in Iranian strikes overnight.
