LONDON [MENL] -- Iran, concerned over an Israeli or U.S. attack, has ordered the redeployment of its Shihab-3 intermediate-range missile force.
Western intelligence sources said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard has received orders to move Shihab-3 launchers in an attempt to prevent their destruction in an Israeli or U.S. air strike. The sources said the launchers were relocated to positions near the Iraqi border closer to U.S. military positions around Baghdad.
"The IRGC has been placed on war-footing," an intelligence source said. "The Shihab-3 units have been alerted to the prospect of an immediate strike."
The sources said the IRGC issued an order to the Shihab-3 missile units on Jan. 19. They said the units were ordered to move the Shihab launchers every 24 hours.

How considerate of them to move the targets closer to the bombs that will destroy them.

Time for us to do the same, lets redeploy about a dozen of them; Iran moved theirs, they can have ours

Well, not until Rockefeller gives them the ritual tip-off. We must have decorum.

The sources said the launchers were relocated to positions near the Iraqi border Thanks guys. That cuts down the number of square miles we have to scan, photograph and analyze dramatically.

"You can run, but you can not hide".
We will spot them with our spy planes or satellites and know exactly where they are. They have been flushed out. Bad move on their part.

Move them to the "Flank 2" position.
That hides them real well.
