World press on Israel and Iranian presidential elections (June 18, 2013)

Haaretz published an article by Amos Harel headlined 'Rise of new Iran president delays Israel's military option by at least another year.' 

"One of the most significant results of Iran’s election of a relative moderate as its next president will likely be to postpone any Israeli decision on military action against Tehran’s nuclear program until next year," the article reads.

After Rouhani's unexpected victory Western powers will probably take several months to analyse the results of the Iranian presidential elections. In the meanwhile Israel will not be backed, if it decided to launch an attack on the Islamic Republic, the author writes.

The Sunday statement by the White House made it perfectly clear that the United States wants Rouhani to start nuclear talks. The US administration also wants Israel to abstain from strike and allow the new Iranian president to play a positive role in the nuclear crisis, the article reads.
