BBC Live Summary

More Israeli air strikes are reported in Tehran, as the Israeli military warns people in parts of the Iranian capital to evacuate.

The IDF says people in parts of Tehran's District 3 should leave as it targets "military infrastructure" in the area.

Earlier, Israel said it had "full aerial operational control" over Tehran, four days after launching strikes on the country.

Israel's claim of aerial control appears to be true, writes our defence correspondent Jonathan Beale - but air superiority isn't everything.

Iran accuses Israel of hitting a hospital in the west of the country, and Iran's health ministry says at least 224 people have been killed by Israeli strikes since Friday.

Overnight, Iranian missiles again penetrated Israel's Iron Dome defence system overnight - the number killed in Israel since Friday has risen to 24.
