	Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) (Persian: نیروی هوایی ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران‎) is the aviation branch of the Iranian armed forces.
		This "new" Iranian air force largely inherited the equipment and structure of the former IIAF, even losing most of its leading officers in the course of post-revolutionary chaos, as well as due to the prosecution of those considered as loyal to the Shah, pro-U.S. or elsewhere by the new regime in Tehran.
		A series of purges and forced retirements resulted in the manpower of the service being halved between February 1979 and July 1980, leaving the IRIAF ill-prepared for the Iran-Iraq War (also called the "I Persian Gulf War").

		This is a relatively easy method of putting pressure on the occupation forces and on foreign governments (which might be friendly to Washington and its close allies), as well as deterring individual companies from continuing their operations in Iraq.
		The only conceivable purpose of a force composed of troops drawn from Islamic (or any other religious group of) countries would be to stabilise Iraq's occupation, not to impose or keep peace.
		Such a force, itself being encouraged by the principal occupying power and its nominee in Iraq, would have no autonomy in its operations nor a remotely independent mandate.
