"#Israel’s codename for the attack was #OperationRisingLion, a pointed reference to the pre-1979 Iranian national flag, a lion before a rising sun. Israel and the US seem to hope that they can shatter the Iranian state and induce civil unrest. This is an attempt at regime change, or regime destruction, poorly disguised as an anti-nuclear operation."

This is another one of those cases where the theory takes too far of a leap.
If the US and Israel wanted to induce civil unrest they could have done other things to get there more effectively.
Yeah we could go off on conspiracy theories about how they were hiding it by not using the more effective methods, but Occam's Razor would have us at least consider that maybe, just maybe, the simpler explanation suffices.
