There is a rumor that Iran has started targeting ISIL in airstrikes. Can you confirm or deny this?

They have been for a while. The Iranian AF however lacks a reliable all weather precision strike hardware.

In the end US will be running, stepping on its own tail as they go and eventually China will surpass the US. The Americans and their colonial policies must end and I would be grateful if it is an Asian power that rids us of American hegemony.

Any idea if IRIAF F-14's have seen some action - if yes, that would be awesome. Love that aircraft!

Yes, they are operational, all receiving maintenance and upgrades inside the country.

This one F-14AM, a fully overhauled, upgraded Tomcat by IRIAF.

Description:

Modernization program is covering structure life-extention,avionic and armament systems upgrade.The work was massive and hundreds of hours was spent on upgrading this 37 years old Interceptor.It has painted in edged three tone Asian Minor II camo pattern.Two new AA missiles has adapted with its fire control system,R-73E and AIM-54A+ "Fakkur" furthermore AIM-54A,AIM-7E-4,AIM-9J,and MIM-23C

There is a very interesting article about the life of Iran's Tomcats after the war, their upgrades, maintanence. It's published in October 2013 issue of Combat Aircraft magazine, I have the scanned pics of the article, but adding them here may violate forum's copyright laws, but here's the cover, you can download the magazine and read the article.

Also, tale a look at this thread, very informative one.
PROJECT SEDJIL (The fitting of the MIM-23 Surface to air missile on the F-14)

These planes badly need an upgrade, though would not count out the Iranians, they are very industrious.

whoever can be part of the solution to the problems in Iraq/Syria/greater levent and whoever can counter the terrorists and is able to be part of a greater solution - they'll have our blessing, or at least mine and many others here

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

@Serpentine very interesting and refreshing actually to see those Tomcats still put to use!

seems the White House and the Department of Defence are engaged in a war against eachother.

proof of that is Obama's sacking/forced resignation of Chuck Hagel - who himself comes from military credentials ('Nam vet)
