IDF: Missile test, drills not connected to Iran talk

The IDF said on Thursday that the launching of a ballistic missile and a joint Air Force exercise with Italy had no connection to the public discussion currently taking place on the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran, Israel Radio reported. The radio station quoted an IDF official as calling such speculation "absolute nonsense."
All of the exercises and the test launch, the source said, were planned long in advance.
