Israel’s plan to attack Iran put on hold until next year at the earliest – Haaretz
Haaretz reports that last week’s war simulation at the Pentagon has forced “ Ehud Barak to reconsider attack plans; Americans pledge more money for Iron Dome antimissile system”. If an attack has been delayed, it could also be due to White House pressure on Azerbaijan to cancel vital Israeli air force access to Azeri airbases on Iran’s border (which has been indicated in the last few days).

Damning U.S. war simulation forces Ehud Barak to reconsider attack plans; Americans pledge more money for Iron Dome antimissile system.
By Amir Oren
At 8:58 P.M. on Tuesday, Israel’s 2012 war against Iran came to a quiet end. The capricious plans for a huge aerial attack were returned to the deep recesses of safes and hearts. The war may not have been canceled but it has certainly been postponed. For a while, at least, we can sound the all clear: It won’t happen this year. Until further notice, Israel Air Force Flight 007 will not be taking off.
According to a war simulation conducted by the U.S. Central Command, the Iranians could kill 200 Americans with a single missile response to an Israeli attack. An investigative committee would not spare any admiral or general, minister or president. The meaning of this U.S. scenario is that the blood of these 200 would be on Israel’s hands.
