The largest joint defense drill ever between the U.S. and Israel has been postponed. Israel state radio – Reshet Bet– first reported on Sunday that the drill would be delayed due to “budgetary constraints.” However, IDF Radio later in the day quoted military officials saying the motivation was to prevent “unnecessary headlines.”

The delay comes as a surprise particularly because as late as last Sunday, the IDF was still distributing a written statement describing the joint drill as “another milestone in the strategic relationship between the US and Israel, as well as a step forward in promoting regional stability.”

Though the IDF said the planned exercise was “not in response to any real-world event,” it was widely regarded as one of several actions sending a tough signal to Iran, including increased sanctions, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s explicit definition of two red lines – an Iranian closing of the Strait of Hormuz and the development of a nuclear weapon – sending another aircraft carrier strike group to the Arabian Sea, and the British deployment to the Persian Gulf of its largest warship the HMS Daring.
