I’m finding it hard to find concise info on what’s been going on in/around Iran. Can anyone throw a brief timeline of events for me? Pretty pretty please?

Edi: thanks for all the comments and answers, appreciate it!

    Unmentioned so far: Netanyahu’s government coalition was about to topple, so this war was a dodge of the corruption charges hanging over him if he leaves, and a trade with the other parties to stay in power. One of the coalition member parties had threatened to drop out over conscription of a previously exempt religious sect, and it had become time-sensitive due to a judicial order. The attack on Iran happened within a day.
