>In November 2010, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon officially announced a joint venture known as Isis, which planned to develop a near-field communications-based mobile payments platform. The venture also announced partnerships with Discover Financial for access to its point-of-service network, and Barclaycard as a card issuer. The company stated that it planned to "introduce its service in key geographic markets during the next 18 months"... in September 2014, the service was renamed "Softcard", as the name "Isis" had gained negative connotations due to its association with the terrorist organization

The goal with these preliminary strikes is to get Iran to retaliate, and use that as justification for further escalation.
It might be where based on things like satellite photos they cannot draw certain conclusions that are unable to be discussed publicly due to blowing a source.
So imagine someone leaks a report that doesn't use all available sources to bolster their side of a story or because they lack the theory of mind to understand it's not the bombshell they think it is.
