Then why were new Phoenixes on Iran's shopping
list during those secret
(and illegal) deals? Were those the rounds
that were ordered but not
delivered?

But, Matt,
they haven't ordered any, nor ever got any additional
AIM-54s after autumn
1978 (in the sence of complete rounds).

Then I stand corrected. I would assume they have replenished the stocks
of those they fired with their reverse-engineered version.
