Default How did the Iranians get the Phoenix to work?

Some people here have been claiming that the Iranians made effective and
widespread use of the Phoenix missle against Iraq. I have always read
that after the Shah fell US civilian technicians altered the F-14s they
were servicing so that they could never fire the Phoenix. If the
Iranians *did* use the Phoenix, how did they overcome the sabotage?


They had the maintenance manuals, US-trained technicians, spare parts, and
time.
