Israel and Iran began exchanging aerial bombardments after Israel’s surprise attack early in the morning of 13 June.
Since then, thousands of missiles have been sent by each side, and the US has also supported Israel in using bombers to strike Iran’s main nuclear sites.
This map shows the strikes in Iran, broken down by the type of attack. You can zoom in and click on individual points to see more detail, or click on parts of the key to focus in on specific types of targets.
We will be keeping these maps updated each day, with the latest developments in the conflict.
And here’s a close-up on the capital, Tehran. The close proximity of key targets there means it has been the most heavily hit part of the country.
Israel’s sophisticated air defence system – consisting of the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow System and American-made Patriot System, each of which respond to different sorts of missile, rocket and drone attacks – mean that most of the attacks on the country have been intercepted without causing any damage.
Nonetheless, Iran has struck several targets in Israel, including many in and around Tel Aviv.

On 22 June, America joined in the attacks on Iran, using B2 bombers to drop several Massive Ordnance Penetrator “bunker busters” on Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities.
The bombs are about as long as a transit van, and weigh about as much as a standard five-door car. They were thought to be the only weapons on the planet capable of penetrating the Iranian sites which were buried deep underground.
Donald Trump said the attacks had “completely and totally obliterated” the facilities, although experts have suggested that it could take more to destroy Iran’s nuclear capacity entirely.
“This is a very well-developed, long-standing programme with a lot of latent expertise in the country,” said Darya Dolzikova, a proliferation and nuclear security expert at RUSI, a UK defence and security thinktank.
“I don’t think we’re talking about a full elimination at this point, certainly not by military means.”
These satellite images show the impact of the attacks.
A ceasefire was agreed between Israel and Iran on the morning of 24 June, but within hours, Israel had accused Iran of violating the deal and said it would “respond forcefully… with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran”.
