seriously doubt it. they remember the Iraqi jets that fled to Iran to seek asylum...

Following Desert Storm, the Iraqi Air Force was estimated to include:

15 MiG-29 ground-attack aircraft
30 Mirage F1 ground-attack aircraft
50 MiG-23 multi-role fighters
20 Su-25 ground-attack aircraft
30 Su-20/-22 ground-attack aircraft
7 Tu-16 and B-6D bombers
10 Tu-22 supersonic bombers

Iran still retains the 15 Il-76, 40 Su-20/22, 24 Mirage F1, seven MiG-23, seven MiG-25 and four MiG-29 combat aircraft that fled Iraq to escape the Coalition air campaign in 1991.
