Not buying it.

The news ‘source’ (al jabba) is hardly credible.

Any video can be claimed to be filmed anywhere.

And Iranian F-4’s are hardly capable of delivering ordnance as their avionics are shot, and the number of F-4s capable of flying are way down in the low single digits. This means the Iranians will not risk flying and losing one of their ‘premier” jets on a routine mission and in airspace where the US and coalition forces control the skies.

They have taken down the video. More “not buying it” evidence that this is a fraud. The Iranians would be making very loud statements about how wonderful their air force is if they had.

I’m surprised they are flying at all.
