Iran and Israel exchanged fire for the third day in a row on Sunday with both sides threatening even greater force as US-Iran nuclear talks, scheduled to be held in Oman, were called off.

Follow our liveblog for the latest developments.

  • Israel and Iran on Sunday traded strikes for a third day as US-Iran nuclear talks, scheduled to be held in Oman, were called off.
  • French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Iran's nuclear programme was an"existential" threat for the security of Israel and of Europe, and that diplomacy was necessary to end the conflict.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had"solid proof" that US forces and bases in the region had supported Israel in its attacks.
  • In Israel, at least 10 people were killed in overnight Iranian strikes, according to rescue services, bringing the country’s total death toll to 13.
  • Iranian authorities have not offered an overall death toll. The closet number has been 78 people killed and over 320 wounded, which came from Iran’s ambassador to the UN.

Yesterday's developments:

  • Iran launched waves of drones and ballistic missiles from Saturday into Sunday that lit the night skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in response to Israel's unprecedented attack on Iran’s nuclear sites and top military commanders on Friday.
  • Israel's military on Saturday continued attacks on Iran with strikes reported at a gas field and an underground missile facility. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to strike “every target” of the Iranian regime.
  • The latest round of US-Iran talks over Iran’s uranium enrichment program, scheduled to begin in Oman on Sunday, were cancelled. As world leaders urged Iran to negotiate, Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said doing do was unjustifiable while"barbarous" Israeli attacks continued.
  • Amid pledges from world leaders to support Israel, Iran threatened to attack US, French and British bases if those countries helped Israel fend off Iranian strikes.
  • Eight people were killed and over 130 were injured in Israel by Iranian attacks, medical workers said. In Iran, at least 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded by Israeli strikes. Among them were 60 people, including 20 children, killed by an Israeli strike on a Tehran housing complex.
