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 strikes had ‘direct impacts' on underground nuclear site in Iran: Watchdog
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations's atomic watchdog, said Tuesday that Israel's strikes on Iran have had 'direct impacts' on the underground enrichment halls at Natanz. 'Based on continued analysis of high resolution satellite imagery collected after Friday's attacks, the IAEA has identified additional elements that indicate direct impacts on the underground enrichment halls at Natanz,' the watchdog wrote Tuesday in a post on the social platform X. The agency added there were no reported changes fueled by attacks on Tehran's nuclear development centers in the Iranian cities of Isfahan and Fordow. 'Electricity infrastructure at the facility, which included an electrical substation, a main electric power supply building, an emergency power supply and backup generators, was also destroyed,' IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told the agency's board of governors Monday. 'There has been no indication of a physical attack on the underground cascade hole containing part of the pilot fuel enrichment plant and the main fuel enrichment plant,' Grossi continued. 'However, the loss of power to the cascade hole may have damaged the centrifuges located there.' He also warned that nuclear safety was being 'compromised' during the Israeli military's five-day blitz on Iran in an effort to thwart the country's plans for nuclear developments. On Tuesday, the Israeli military touted the death of Ali Shadmani, Iran's senior-most military official, after a Monday strike on two F-14 fighter jets located at an airport in Tehran — which it said was intended to intercept an Israeli aircraft. Israel urged 300,000 people in Tehran to evacuate, pending additional attacks. Last week, Israeli forces detonated bombs at the Iranian Isfahan nuclear site, taking out four buildings including the chemical laboratory, a uranium conversion plant, the Tehran reactor fuel manufacture plant and UF4 to EU metal processing facility, according to the IAEA. 'I acknowledge the cooperation and exchange of information between the Iranian authorities and the IAEA. Amid these challenging and complex circumstances, it is crucial that the IAEA receives timely and regular technical information about the facilities and their respective sites,' Grossi said Monday. 'This information is needed to promptly inform you, the international community, and ensure an effective response and assistance to any emergency situation in Iran,' he added. The IAEA official also noted he's personally contacted inspectors on the ground to ensure they are unharmed and able to monitor the radiological conditions from airstrikes in addition to potential impacts on the population and the environment. The news comes as President Trump has faced pressure over the U.S. response to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The Trump administration had led talks with Iranian officials over dismantling its nuclear program. Iran on Saturday pulled out of the latest round of nuclear talks as the Middle Eastern nations traded strikes. The president has not ruled out the possibility of the U.S. military becoming involved in the conflict. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Iran's F-14 Tomcats are the last of their kind. Israel's been blowing some of them up.
The F-14 Tomcat, made famous by the "Top Gun" films and its storied history with the US Navy, is a dying breed. Long since retired by the US military, Iran is the only remaining operator. Israel, however, has been blowing some of them up lately as it targets Iran's military capabilities and nuclear and missile programs. In the 1986 "Top Gun" film, Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, played by actor Tom Cruise, buzzes the tower, launches off aircraft carriers, and dogfights hostile MiGs in an F-14. And in the 2022 sequel, the jet returns for an intense fight against advanced enemy jets. Hollywood hype for the aircraft aside, the Tomcat, an air superiority fighter made by US aerospace and defense company Northrop Grumman, is a celebrated combat aircraft within the Navy. First introduced in the 1970s, it was a highly capable aircraft that saw use in conflicts from Vietnam to the Middle East. The US Navy retired the last of its F-14s in 2006 following the introduction of Boeing's carrier-based F/A-18 Super Hornet, a multi-role aircraft considered easier to maintain. Once allies, the US sold F-14s to Iran in the mid-1970s, before revolution upended relations and support. Iran has managed to keep some operational despite US sanctions and attempts to stop Iran from obtaining parts. These jets are now coming under fire, though. On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces shared footage of a strike on two F-14s at an airport in 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 Just how many Iran F-14s Iran has left is unclear, though the fleet is believed to be fairly limited. The jets hit by Israel appear to have been unflyable, but their parts may have been key to keeping Iran's remaining ones in the sky. Canibalization of parts is not uncommon when logistics and supply lines are strained. An iconic American jet Richard Aboulafia, an aviation expert and the managing director of AeroDynamic Advisory, told Business Insider that when the F-14 was introduced, it was "incredibly cutting edge and held numerous records for years to come." Iran's jets, he said, are "kind of a time capsule." Aboulafia characterized them as "ghosts of the Cold War." The US wanted interceptor aircraft that could counter the Soviet Union's long-range bombers and the increasing threat of long-range missiles. That need gave birth to the F-14, built to replace the F-4 Phantom II made by McDonnell Douglas. The new jet came with an advanced radar, the ability to track multiple targets, and adjustable wings. The Tomcat was also the only aircraft at the time that could carry the AIM-54 Phoenix long-range air-to-air missile, which could hit targets at 100 nautical miles, far beyond visual range. Being able to make long-range air-to-air kills was critical at a time when the US needed to protect aircraft carriers from bombers. The US first deployed the F-14 during Operation Frequent Wind, flying combat air patrols during the evacuation of Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. The Tomcat scored its first combat kills with the US Navy in 1981 against Libyan Su-22s. It conducted air defense missions during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The fighter later saw more combat in Iraq and Afghanistan as well. The jet's advanced features and use in some of the US's most important campaigns makes them a key piece of US military aviation history. The "Top Gun" films then elevated the plane in popular culture. The US Tomcats that didn't last The Tomcats were impressive planes, but the F-14s faced problems with expensive spare parts and high maintenance needs. The Navy also wanted a more versatile aircraft. The Super Hornet that succeeded the Tomcat was intended to bring improved features, reduced maintenance load, and the ability to execute air-to-ground strikes, as well as engage in air-to-air combat. The US Navy had many of the jets scrapped, but it has some inoperable models on display at Florida's National Naval Aviation Museum and New York's Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. The end of the US F-14 program left Iran as the only nation that had them in service. The US went out of its way to cripple Iran's F-14 program, destroying aircraft, implementing sanctions, and choking off the supply of F-14 parts that it needed to keep the jets flying. Iran's F-14s Iran acquired a total of 79 F-14 Tomcats from the US before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, so Iran had the jets when the Iran-Iraq War started in 1980, with Iran using them in pursuit of air superiority and for air defense. Iran said its F-14s shot down more than 100 Iraqi aircraft. When the US cut off support and spare parts for Iran's F-14s. Iran developed its own maintenance capabilities and found black market solutions, but Iran's F-14 numbers dwindled as time went on. Aboulafia said that Iran uses the jets almost as Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft, which help air forces with surveillance and command and control, "because of the power of that radar." He called it "the best tool they had to see aerial threats." Iran does not have a strong air force, with its force made up of obsolete Western, Soviet, and Chinese aircraft. The Tomcat "was really the only thing that Iranians could have flown to have threatened some of the Israeli airstrikes," retired US Army Maj. Gen. Gordon "Skip" Davis, the former deputy assistant secretary-general for NATO's defense-investment division, told Business Insider. "Not really the F-35s, but the F-15s," he said. "And so I think it was a very, to me, brilliant move to focus on them early on." With limited airpower, Iran is heavily dependent on ground-based air defenses, which the Israelis are also systematically wiping out. Israel says that it has achieved air superiority over Iran, meaning that Iran's ability to stop Israel in its airspace is limited. Israel flies advanced jets like its unique F-35Is. Iran said earlier this year that it had purchased Russian-made Sukhoi-35 fighter jets, but when, and if, those could arrive is unclear.

Donald Trump claims authority over Iran's sky
US President Trump posted on Truth Social, 'We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.' He stressed that the superior military hardware produced by the United States was the reason for this dominance. Additionally, Trump expressed that his patience was reaching its limit. This followed his demand at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, for Iran's 'unconditional surrender'. STRIKE HITS IRAN COMMAND POST On 17 June 2025, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) bombed Iran's main emergency military command centre in western Iran, destroying radar installations and air defence systems. The latest Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) report claims that the IDF destroyed missile infrastructure, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and dozens of surface-to-surface missile launchers. These attacks represent a step up in Operation Rising Lion, which aims to weaken Iran's drone and missile capabilities. The IDF confirmed the death of Major General Ali Shadmani, Iran's top battlefield commander and head of Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters. Moreover, the strike demonstrates Israel's intention to target high-ranking officials. The cybergroup 'Predatory Sparrow', linked to earlier Israeli cyber operations, claimed responsibility for the Bank Sepah hack. Authorities also accused the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of using the bank to finance military activities. Since Operation Rising Lion began, Israeli forces have reportedly neutralised more than 200 Iranian ballistic missile launchers. Based on IDF estimates, this amounts to more than half of Iran's known launcher inventory. Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel had destroyed about 1 000 Iranian drones, about half of the regime's stockpile. On 16 June 2025, the IDF attacked the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) studio during a live broadcast in Tehran. Coordinated attacks destroyed two Iranian F-14 fighter jets before takeoff, key missile infrastructure, and a truck carrying a surface-to-air missile (SAM) between Tehran and Qom. These actions were confirmed by JINSA's 17 June 2025 report. Iran targeted Israel with several waves of ballistic missiles and drones on June 17. Shortly before impact, Israel's Home Front Command sent out alerts. A direct missile strike forced the Bazan refinery in Haifa to close temporarily. Civilians in Tel Aviv were injured by falling shrapnel from missile interceptions. These incidents marked a sharp increase in regional violence, prompting emergency responses and increased security measures across Israeli cities and vital infrastructure. Amid rising Israel-Iran tensions, the United States increased its military presence in the Middle East on 17 June 2025. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the deployment, including the USS Nimitz, USS Carl Vinson, refuelling tankers, F-16s, F-22s, and F-35 fighter jets. Officials told Reuters that the move aims to protect American forces, deter Iran, stabilise the area, and expand President Trump's military options if the conflict worsens.

"Everyone Should Immediately Evacuate Tehran!", Trump Warns
President Trump just posted an ominous warning on his social media platform TruthSocial Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran! A rather worrying shift from optimism today that peace (or not war_ was closer… Stock futures (and crypto) are down on the post and gold and oil are stronger. Iran is warning of a 'more painful response' if the US fails to rein in Israel, IRNA News is reporting, as more major explosions have been observed in Tehran and across part of Iran. The last 48 hours saw things escalate into sustained daytime strikes, including on Iranian state TV and radio headquarters buildings. Importantly the Iranian government is now expressly denying the accuracy of an earlier Wall Street Journal report saying that Tehran is seeking to get to the negotiating table again with the Trump administration. Iran is also claiming its forces shot down an Israeli F-35 stealth fighter near Tabriz, Iran's state-run Nour news claims, but this has been met by a swift rejection by the IDF, which called it 'fake news'. According to breaking Israeli media reports, PM Netanyahu now says Israel won't rule out killing Khamenei: 'It would end the conflict' – TOI says. Netanyahu is giving his first official full press conference since the start of the air war four days ago. 'I will not detail our plans publicly, but we will do whatever it takes,' he said. Importantly, a big claim was made… Netanyahu says Israel 'well coordinated' with US during Iran campaign The entire morning drop in oil prices has been erased on these latest escalatory headlines: And more per Israeli media: An Israeli Air Force drone struck and destroyed two Iranian F-14 fighter jets at an airport in Tehran, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin reveals in a press conference. The US-made F-14 Tomcats were supplied to Iran before the 1979 Islamic Revolution and are believed to be the last ones still in operation. The IDF publishes footage of the strike. ⚡️Israel destroyed a number of Iran's F14 Tomcats — War Monitor (@WarMonitors) June 16, 2025 A veteran Mideast war correspondent who has contacts in the Iranian government has this to say: This is a point of no made a grave mistake today by targeting Iran's identity.

The Nimitz was previously scheduled to replace the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group which has been deployed for several months, but is now heading to the Middle East ahead of schedule. The two will now be in the Middle East at the same time. The USS Nimitz is the oldest active aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, commissioned on May 3, 1975. Scheduled to be decommissioned in 2026, this is possibly its final sea voyage. This is a very significant symbolic deployment because it was deployed in 1980 and its helicopters that were part of the failed US effort known as Operation Eagle Claw to rescue the American hostages being held at the US Embassy in Tehran. The US has been in a shadow war against Iran ever since. Soon after this reporting: IRAN IS PREPARING FOR THE 'LARGEST AND MOST INTENSE MISSILE ATTACK IN HISTORY ON ISRAELI SOIL' -IRANIAN STATE MEDIA This comes on the heels of reports that the US Embassy in Tel Aviv suffered 'minor damage' from a nearby Iranian ballistic missile impact. And Reuters confirms: US military has moved a large number of refueling tanker craft to Europe to give options to US President Trump… WSJ this morning: Iran eager to negotiate with the US and Israel to end the this morning: Iran refuses to negotiate while under attack and until its retaliation against Israel is is always a weapon of war: lets people believe what they want: — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) June 16, 2025 This likely won't end well, given the Times of Israel is now citing Israeli officials who say the operation is expected to last two to three weeks. 'There's a bank of military targets that we can complete prettying quickly.' Meanwhile Iranian reports are claiming that only some 5% of its offensive missile capacity has been used. Meanwhile: IRAN'S REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS CALL ON TEL AVIV RESIDENTS TO EVACUATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE -IRANIAN STATE MEDIA If this is true, Israel will smell blood and double — Mark Ames (@MarkAmesExiled) June 16, 2025 Everything is suddenly exploding higher – also with gold and oil dropping – especially on the following WSJ breaking report which suggests ( dubiously , we should add…) that the Iranians are 'open' to returning to the negotiating table with Trump officials, even as ballistic missiles rain down on Israel, and as much of the Islamic Republic – particularly oil depots – burn… 'In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to return to the negotiating table as long as the U.S. doesn't join the attack, the officials said. They also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained,' per WSJ on Monday. Oil prices tumbling on the breaking report… S&P 2% from ATH… Gold has been falling since before the missile war started late on Thursday… WSJ continues, 'Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said.' This comes also amid reports that dozens of US Air Force tankers have in the last hours taken off from the United States and headed towards Europe, as also confirmed in Flightradar24 and Air Live. Is Trump ready to join the Israeli side militarily? The Iranians fear so, it appears. Iran's message is that 'it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained' – according to an urgeng diplomatic message passed along. But at this point it seems clear that Israel is going for full regime decapitation, given also that reports say the Israel Air Force has total aerial dominance over Western Iran and skies above Tehran at this point. If these reports of an Iranian olive branch are accurate, is it too-little-too-late? * * * After another day on the receiving end of an Israeli war of aggression that began Friday, Iran delivered a major counterpunch overnight, further demonstrating that Israel's highly-touted Iron Dome defense system is vulnerable to Iran's hypersonic missiles. Upon completing a deadly barrage aimed at targets in Tel Aviv, Haifa and elsewhere, Iran claimed it had employed a 'new method' that put Israel's multi-layered defense system in disarray to the point its various systems targeted each other. ⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇱JUST IN: INCREDIBLY fast hypersonic missile from Iran making impact in Haifa, Israel. — Suppressed News. (@SuppressedNws) June 16, 2025 As fire and rescue teams scrambled to respond to the damage, Times of Israel reported at least eight people had been killed and more than 90 injured in the early-Monday attack, bringing Israel's running death toll to at least 24 with hundreds wounded. 'The arrogant dictator of Tehran has become a scared murderer who fires at Israel's civilian home front in order to deter the IDF from continuing to carry out attacks that are destroying his capabilities,' said Defense Minister Israel Katz, only to then promise that 'residents of Tehran will pay the price, and soon.' ❗️Multiple dead from Iran strikes on Tel Aviv suburbs Iran ballistic missile guts high-rise — unconfirmed footage — RT (@RT_com) June 16, 2025 ❗️Multiple dead from Iran strikes on Tel Aviv suburbs Iran ballistic missile guts high-rise — unconfirmed footage — RT (@RT_com) June 16, 2025 Iran claimed it struck targets that included a power plant in Haifa that 'was seen engulfed in flames,' an oil refinery complex in Bazan, a facility of the military technology company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems facility, as well as Ben Gurion Airport. The Cradle reports that other targets included Nevatim Air Base, an army camp in Galilee, and hits on power grid facilities that caused 'widespread blackouts.' Projectiles also hit a residential high-rise building and at least another residential area.
