Considering they are in pristine condition (or should be)
as they haven't flown in 30 years.
Actually, they used to fly a lot. If they could find parts.
They have flown. . .and haven’t had spare parts and upgrades, electronic, engine or otherwise, they are flying pigs right now.
as Iran I believe has F14’s. Don’t want to pick a fight with those.

The Iranians actually used tomcats to good effect against Iraqi fighters during the 1980-88 war. Somehow enough of them were kept flying. Not sure if many or any kills were made with Phoenix though. A number of those super long-range missiles were fired against Iraqi aircraft in the no-fly zone; all missed their targets.
