Iran has quietly deployed its Shihab-2 medium-range ballistic missiles within striking distance of major U.S. military bases in Iraq. The Shihab-2s, with a range of about 700 kilometers, were moved west from bases near Teheran toward the border with Iraq earlier this year. Western intelligence sources said Teheran would use the Shihab-2 in case of any U.S. air strike on Iran.
Iran would probably not use its aging military aircraft to try to defend air space, they said.
The sources said Iran has acquired the capability to install chemical warheads on the Shihab-2. Iran operates two chemical production plants and has developed weapons of mass destruction warheads for nearly all of its medium- and intermediate-range missiles.

Here's a delightful thought about all this.
Remember the old war movie sniper adage "if I can see the enemy through my scope, he can sure see me"?
It applies here as well.
