Original Note:
Iran purchased F-14s as part of a $2 billion deal prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, one of the single largest US arms deals ever. The US government was compensated for these aircraft and its tax dollars have no relevancy to their current state of deployment by Iran. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/why-iran-flies-f-14-tomcat-fighter-top-gun-207546 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-14_Tomcat_operational_history#Iranian_service
