[quote]Having been exported to Pahlavi Iran under the Western-aligned Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1976, F-14s were used as land-based interceptors by the Imperial Iranian Air Force. Following the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force used them during the Iran–Iraq War.[/quote]
Sounds like they were given before the current controllers of Iran took over.
So sometimes between 1976 and 1979 (I think), I think it's saying it happened in 1976, but maybe that's just when the agreement was.

JIMMY CARTER | 1977-1981

I am almost certain it was the Reagan Administration although I don’t see that as a choice

Despite secretly facilitating the sales of weapons to Iran to help fund the Contras, how could you have been "almost certain" the Reagan Adminstration would have sold fighter aircraft advanced as the F-14 Tomcat to Iran after the hostage crisis? 🤔

I thought the had F 4 Phantom s from the days of the Shaw. The don't have F 14 Tomcats.

@beckyromero where did they get them. We cut of supply them before the tomcat was available. It's bad enough they have F4s. You may be right, I just don't know how they got them. F 14s. Had some issues though.

@beckyromero been a long time. I didn't remember that. Remember though I never said you were wrong. However the F 14 wasn't the best fighter we ever made. There are issues with the swing wing from what I have heard. The most modern plane I hung bombs on was the F 111.

Why don't they have a justice system and trial(s) for the bad guys instead of just dropping bombs on everyone?
Ohh no they have tomcats. 🥺
