We've monitored several of these celestial 'signs'. Two lunar-solar eclipses during Ramadan and the transit of Venus across the sun, just to name a few. So far there has been no significant correlation between these events and terror attacks. They attack when their plans and targets are ready.

Anything that would strengthen Bin Laden's claim to be the Mahdi would have significance. Not sure what the significance of the transit of Venus would have, but the two eclipses during the month of Ramadan have significance for the entire year following the event.
Jupiter passing behind the moon may or may not have significance to Bin Laden and his friends. If it does, it still may not affect their timing, other than to give them confidence that allah is with them. But given the start of Hanukkah on the same day, it might.
In a purely strategic sense, waiting until Iran has nukes would make a lot of sense. Why attack the U.S. in a big way, thus giving us an excuse to take out Iran's nukes, when all they have to do is wait a few more months? If I were Iran, I would put all the pressure I could on Al Qaida to hold off. Once Iran has nukes, Hezbollah can join in the "fun", thus multiplying the impact of whatever Al Qaida thinks they can do.
