I know Grumman got the money and contract since they were doing the support and training using tech reps sent to Iran for that purpose. Some pretty amusing stories came out of that (mis)adventure. Of course, who the middle man might have been, (sliding a few bucks into their pocket) I can't know. But the U.S. had to approve the sale since it was pretty high tech stuff back then. I don't recall too much but I don't think they were sold with the AWG-9 RADAR or Phoenix missile system. Just the Sparrow/Sidewinder missiles and a "Lite" version of the AWG-9 RADAR. Thanks for a chance to remember those days. I’m pretty sure it was the U.S. that sold them to Iran.

That seems to clear up who sold what, when. Reminds me when we supported Saddam during the Reagan years. It would be interesting to know how much hardware we sold him to fight Iran. :-( Thank you Dick. That seems to clear up who sold what, when.

A long time ago. I used to train Iranian military students in the early 1970's. That all ended when the Ayatollah took over and we had our 444 day hostage situation during the Carter presidency.
