#3 Re #2: Yep, 29 batteries according to wikipedia.

TEHRAN, February 7 2007(RIA Novosti) - Iran has successfully tested the TOR-M1 air defense missile system recently supplied by Russia, the Iranian news agency ISNA said, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps responsible for national missile forces. The tests were part of military exercises that began in southern Iran Wednesday after Russia completed the delivery of 29 TOR-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran in late January under a $700 million contract signed at the end of 2005.

No great leap of analytical genius, but here are likely locations of additional TOR M1 (or similar) missile batteries. Iranian oil refineries and ports are not listed in the graphic, but must be assumed as AAA locations as well.

#7 "adjust your airliner flight patterns accordingly...or just don't fly to Iran"

#8 If that "local Iranian" is real and his find authentic he'll disappear just like that control segment already has (Iran claims nothing like this has been found).
