I also heard the explanation for the attacks that this was the face saving off ramp for Trump from the war. Drop the bombs, not destroy anything significant, make a deal with Iran so that it does not retaliate against the US (not even against the involved planes), declare that the Iranian nuclear programm has beed delayed for several years and declare victory. Later Iran and Israel make a truce to end the war which is having devestating consequences for both sides. Then Iran and Israel both declare victory themselves and the war is over. When no one expects a decisive victory, it can be argued that everyone considers this to be the best solution.

I really hope that this explanation is correct. But without access to classified information, only time can tell you, whether it is.
