Israel bombs Iranian TV station in overnight attack
Israel attacked an Iranian TV station in an air raid on Tehran in the early hours of Tuesday.
The state-owned Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting said it was hit by two explosions. Israel acknowledged the strike, calling it an attack on Iranian "propaganda activities".
...
The Iranian TV channel said it was still broadcasting after the strike, reporting no casualties. The Israeli army had ordered local residents to leave the Evin area of Tehran, which is also home to a notorious regime prison.

This means Israel is targeting civilians. The USA may be trying to say today that it's not about regime change, but Israel is clear that it is. Attacking broadcasting sites is a standard part of overthrowing the government.
