Maybe the NSA ‘requested’ some time to use the exploit on some high value targets.
Sure, it’s PHP, but plenty of companies or organisations might have some PHP running somewhere; and once you’re in, lateral movement becomes a lot easier.

They literally employ full-time Vulnerability Researchers doing nothing but 0-day discovery and PoC creation 24/7 to add to their horde. Plus contracting with the MIC for their full-time VRs for the occasional project.
and yet they attacked and lost ALL their bases around the Gulf and today are in what can best be described as a Pyrric Stalemate.
Also, Vulnerability Researchers working for the NSA are not located in the Gulf, and the NSA was not involved in that situation.
I fail to see how it's relevant whatsoever. The U.S. is not a monolith.
Read the original text, it makes it seem that the NSA has some next level capabilities in hacking and discovering or requesting zero days from vendors. Something which seem absurd given the intelligence failure that we see in the Persian gulf.

May be difficult to believe but Iranians also have computers. If you want to believe the NSA has incredible multiple zero days and Iran has been at worst in the top 3 of enemy nations, how did they not know about the missiles and drone programs ? How could they not know ALL or SOME of their locations ?
