Satellite image of an Iranian airport shows an American-made F-14 Tomcat that Israel turned into a burned wreck
The Israeli military said it bombed two Iranian F-14 Tomcats in Tehran earlier this week. A new satellite image shows that one of the fighter jets is destroyed while the other looks damaged. The US sold dozens of F-14s to Iran in the 1970s when the two countries still had ties. New satellite imagery of an Iranian airfield shows two US-made F-14 fighter jets — one of which looks to be totally destroyed — after they were hit by Israeli airstrikes earlier in the week. The image, captured on Friday by US commercial satellite imaging company Maxar Technologies and obtained by Business Insider, shows the two F-14s at a facility at Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran. One of the F-14s appears to have taken a hit near the nose, although the full extent of the damage is unclear. However, the other jet directly next to it was reduced to a burned wreck. Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces, said on Monday that an IDF drone struck two Iranian F-14s, marking "another loss of strategic weaponry for the enemy." The military published footage showing a direct hit on each aircraft. RECAP of Our Recent Operations Over Tehran: 🛫 Strike on two F-14 fighter jets that were located at an airport in Tehran. These jets were intended to intercept Israeli aircraft. ❌ Thwarted a UAV launch attempt toward Israel. 🎯 Eliminated a launch cell minutes before launch… — Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) June 16, 2025 The F-14 Tomcat is a multi-role fighter jet made by the US aerospace corporation formerly known as Grumman Aerospace Corporation, now Northrop Grumman. Designed to be launched from aircraft carriers, the plane was introduced by the US Navy in the 1970s and participated in combat missions around the world over the next few decades. The Navy stopped flying the F-14 in 2006, after replacing it with the F/A-18 Super Hornet made by US defense manufacturer Boeing. However, the F-14 has remained a celebrated aircraft, in part because of its spotlight in the "Top Gun" blockbusters. The US sold nearly 80 F-14s to Iran, once an American partner, before the 1979 Iranian Revolution ended relations between the two countries. Washington cut support and supplies of spare parts for the Tomcats, and Tehran's inventory slowly declined over time as maintenance and logistical challenges mounted. Iran still has its jets, though, and is the only remaining operator. Iran's F-14s, like much of its air force, are relatively obsolete due to international sanctions and embargoes that prevent the country from modernizing its fleet. Tehran also operates other aging aircraft, including Soviet-era Su-24s and MiG-29s and US-made F-5s. The limitations of its airpower have forced Iran to rely on building a large arsenal of ballistic missiles and attack drones. Tehran was said to have purchased newer Su-35 aircraft from Russia, although it's unclear if any have been delivered. Israel has struck additional aircraft beyond the two F-14s, including at least one aerial refueling tanker and eight attack helicopters, since beginning a new operation last Friday aimed at degrading Iran's nuclear program, a longtime goal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Over the past week, Israeli fighter jets have carried out widespread airstrikes across Iran, targeting its nuclear facilities, top scientists, senior commanders, missile launchers, air defenses, and other high-profile military infrastructure. The Iranians have responded by launching hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is weighing whether to use US assets to strike Iran's most hardened nuclear sites. Iran has said that it will retaliate if American forces intervene in the conflict.

Israel wants to demolish Iran's nuclear facilities. Does it need US military help?
WASHINGTON − As Israel and Iran trade blows in an escalating aerial war, Israel has its sights trained on taking out Iran's nuclear facilities – and it wants the U.S. military's help. Israel wants the Pentagon to drop the bombs because their penetrating weapons cannot reach the depth necessary to destroy underground facilities, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly. Israel has pressed the U.S. for years, without success, to join an offensive to decapitate Iran's nuclear program. "The answer is no," former President Joe Biden said last October when asked if he would take part. But after President Donald Trump asserted in a blizzard of all-caps Truth Social posts that "IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON," U.S. participation in a strike could be closer than ever. Military experts say there are multiple ways Israel could strike Iran's uranium enrichment plants – with or without help from the U.S. Fully demolishing Iran's nuclear facilities would require 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs, or "bunker-busters," which Israel's military doesn't have. Iran's Fordo nuclear facility – central to its uranium enrichment efforts – is buried around 300 feet underground, unreachable to non-penetrating bombs. The Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or GBU-57, has a 'high-performance steel alloy' warhead case that allows the weapon to stay intact as it burrows deep into the ground, according to Pentagon documents. Only U.S.-made B-2 warplanes are equipped to carry the bombs. Each B-2 Spirit stealth bomber based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri can hold two of the penetrators. See how the bunker buster works: A closer look at the GBU-57 In 2012, the Air Force conducted five tests of the weapon at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Data and visual inspections showed that each bombing run 'effectively prosecuted the targets.' At the depth of Iran's most protected underground nuclear facilities, just one 30,000-pound bomb would likely not be enough to "impose significant damage" on nuclear centrifuges, said David Deptula, a retired Lieutenant General who was the principal attack planner for operation Desert Storm in the 1991 Gulf War. 'It brings to bear a capability that Israel doesn't possess on their own,' Deptula said. The U.S. raised eyebrows in April when it repositioned several B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia, a U.S. base on an island in the Indian Ocean, around 2,300 miles from Iran. Still, the B-2's long range means it could take part in missions with distant targets. "You can perform the strikes from the United States," he said. Given Israel's success so far at degrading Iran's air defenses, deploying the MOP may be unnecessary, said Scott Murray, a retired Air Force colonel and intelligence officer with experience identifying targets in the Middle East. Instead, Israel could use smaller penetrating weapons to collapse the entry ways to Iran's underground nuclear facilities, Murray said. Israel could then effectively bar Iran from recovery work at the sites. 'Think of it as a no-work zone patrolled from above,' he said. 'Air superiority buys incredible capability and flexibility.' More: Iran: 11 facts about a country rarely visited by westerners After five days of heavy bombing, Israel now has control over Iran's air space, clearing the way for such an operation. U.S.-made weapons were instrumental to achieve that control, a fact alluded to by Trump in a June 17 Truth Social post that said, "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran." "Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn't compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured 'stuff,'" Trump wrote. Israel's military first clinched air superiority by sweeping the area with F-35 fighter jets, according to Deptula. Then, they deployed F-15s and F-16s in "follow-on attacks." Deptula called it a "textbook repeat" of the 1991 Operation Desert Storm – the U.S.'s air campaign against Iraqi forces led by Saddam Hussein, for which Deptula wrote the attack plans.

Pentagon sends warplanes, aircraft carrier to Middle East as Iran-Israel conflict rages
WASHINGTON – The Pentagon has shifted warplanes and an aircraft carrier to the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to rage, but the moves have been defensive in nature as the U.S. observes rather than participates in Israel's punishing air campaign, according to U.S. officials. The moves by the U.S. military have been made with an eye toward protecting American troops stationed in the Middle East, a senior Defense official said. There are about 40,000 U.S. service members there. "We are postured defensively in the region to be strong, in pursuit of a peace deal," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox News in a June 16 interview. The Pentagon has not been involved in Israel's offensive strikes on Israel, according to a second U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly. Iran has been warned that any strike on U.S. troops will be met with a strong response. That official characterized the movement of additional forces to the region as a show of force. There have been indications that U.S. troops have been targeted at times by Iran but no attacks have followed, the official said. The aircraft being moved to the Middle East include air refueling tankers from Europe, according to the Defense official who also spoke on condition of anonymity. Refuelers would be necessary to keep fighter aircraft aloft as they provide cover for troops and installations on the ground. The Pentagon has also shifted 21 refuelers based in the United States to Europe, backfilling those sent to the Middle East, the U.S. official said. That move suggests the war between Israel and Iran could continue for some time. The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier has dozens of warplanes aboard. It is about a week away from the Middle East, the U.S. official said. The U.S. had already moved the USS Carl Vinson, another massive aircraft carrier, to the region in April to take part in the Trump administration's strikes on Houthi forces in Yemen. In May, B-52 bombers joined B-2 bombers at Diego Garcia, a Navy base off the tip of India around 2,300 miles from Iran. B-2 aircraft can carry bunker buster bombs, which could be used to target Iran's nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, U.S. ballistic missile interceptors remain on the ground in Israel and at sea on warships nearby in the Mediterranean. Israel has made a significant dent in Iran's ballistic missile capability, and its air defenses, the U.S. official said. The ongoing aerial war between Israel and Iran entered its fifth day on June 17 as Israel pounded Iranian cities with bombs and some Iranian missiles evaded Israel's iron dome defense system. More than 220 Iranians have been killed and at least 1,200 injured since the bombardment began, Iranian state media reported. Two dozen Israelis have been killed in Iranian missile attacks, officials said. A day earlier, President Donald Trump hurriedly left a G7 summit in Canada, citing the escalating crisis in the Middle East. In a Truth Social post, he urged people to "immediately evacuate Tehran." After French President Emmanuel Macron said Trump was on his way to work towards a ceasefire, the U.S. president retorted in another post that "he has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that." This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: US moves warplanes, ships to Middle East as Iran-Israel conflict spirals
