Just a thought- (Israel sending intelligence officers to Russia)
Could this be a way to placate Russia? If Israel is planning to take out Iran's nukes- could this be a way to keep Russia from viewing Israel as an enemy?
Russia has been slightly backing off its support of Iran recently.

U.S. tests ICBM
Test of unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile a success
The Associated Press
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.
An unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile launched early Wednesday on the central California coast successfully reached targets 4,200 miles away in the South Pacific test range, the Air Force said.
The Minuteman 3 missile blasted off at 1:01 a.m. and reached Kwajalein Missile Range targets in the Marshall Islands about 30 minutes later, Tech. Sgt. Rebecca Danet said. The purpose was to test the accuracy and reliability of the ICBM system, she said.
The Air Force has about 500 nuclear warhead-tipped Minuteman 3 missiles in silos located in Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming, the military said.
