F4 Phantoms would be easy to get parts for since so many other countries employed them (and some still do).
You are probably thinking of the F-14 Tomcats that Iran purchased from us before the fall of the Shah. I have read several places that the Grumman maintenance contractors that were in Iran as instructors for their air force might have sabotaged all (or most) of those F-14's on their way out of town.
I don't think any of them ever flew again.
