Product explanation ■ In the Iranian Empire before 1978, King Pahlavi II (Pahlavi) purchased a large number of land and air weapons from Western countries through so-called "oil money" because of military superiority in the Middle East region and sense of caution against the neighboring Soviet Union.
As for air weapons, F-4D was ordered in 1967, and 32 newly built aircraft were delivered by 1970 despite the Vietnam War.
When Pahlavi II resigned due to the Iranian Revolution in February 1979, and when the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is strongly anti-U. S., was established, the United States imposed an arms embargo.
Later supply including replacement parts was cut off, but both aircraft were engaged in the Iran-Iraq War starting in 1980. F-4D operations have been confirmed until recent years.
