Israel's defence minister has said he ordered increased attacks on government targets in Iran to "undermine the regime", while an Iranian missile evaded Israeli air defences to hit a hospital in the country's south.
Other missiles landed around Tel Aviv, injuring at least 40 people, as Israeli planes bombed a heavy-water reactor and returned to strike the Natanz nuclear complex. The comments from Israel Katz were the first time that regime change had officially been claimed as a goal of the seven-day-old war.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump said he had not decided whether to take his country into Israel's new war, as Iran's supreme leader said the US would face "irreparable damage" if it deployed its military to attack.
A Tennessee state law banning gender-affirming care for minors can stand, the supreme court has ruled, a devastating loss for trans rights supporters in a case that could set a precedent for dozens of other lawsuits involving the rights of transgender children.
The case, United States v Skrmetti, was filed last year by three families of trans children and a provider of gender-affirming care. In oral arguments, the plaintiffs, as well as the US government, then helmed by Joe Biden, argued that Tennessee's law constituted sex-based discrimination and thus violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.
Under Tennessee's law, someone assigned female at birth could not be prescribed testosterone, but someone assigned male at birth could receive those drugs.

The youth activists who put the Green New Deal on the political map are launching a campaign to "villainize big oil" which will push for the industry to pay for climate action so the costs do not fall on ordinary people. "[Donald Trump] takes his orders from big oil billionaires like the ones who funded his campaign," said Stevie O'Hanlon, the co-founder and communications director of the Sunrise Movement.
After two years, Michigan wildlife experts finally were able to trap a black bear and remove a large lid that was stuck around his necks. "It's pretty incredible that the bear survived and was able to feed itself," Cody Norton, a state bear specialist, said. "The neck was scarred and missing hair, but the bear was in much better condition than we expected it to be."
