I know that Iraq has kept close to 200 migs in Iran since the mid 90s (why Iran, who was at war with Iraq for almost a decade, has chosen to do this is beyond me) and it might be for maintenance purposes. The sanctions placed on Iraq prevent most military parts including replacement. That might explain why Iran kept them and then repatriated them back to Iraq.
I would feel more comfortable if there were some reports of captured aircraft, even if they were inoperable.

Pay attention...what remained of their airforce from the 1st Gulf War...we have been bombing.
