I've Been Thinking:

The British newspaper The Guardian ran a news piece by Jonathan Steele yesterday that referred back to the visit of US president George Bush to Israel on May 14th to celebrate Israel's 60th birthday.
Steele writes that when Bush was in Jerusalem Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert asked for a green light to bomb Iran and was given a red light instead.

Steele's sources are a little questionable, but the idea rings true enough.
Every single meeting between American and Israeli higher ups has the bombing of Iran as a significant part of the agenda.
I will say, however, that the typical response by the US is a yellow light, advising that Israel proceed with caution, rather than a red light.

There are no notes of this meeting. It was truly a private meeting and only afterwards did one of the parties talk to a European leader who then told his staff who leaked the story.

There really is nothing new here.
Israel is working hard on creating plans but cannot and will not act without that green light from the United States.
Right now, that light is stuck on yellow.
