is the US at war with Iran now or something?

they apparently flew into Iranian airspace, destroyed an airfield, bombed a nuclear facility on their soil, stole an aircraft, and shot down several of their jets and helicopters

that seems pretty... war worthy

movie fucking rocked btw

Iran is the only other country to operate the F-14 and they have nuclear ambitions.

That said, the mission was clearly inspired by an Israeli deep-strike mission on an Iraqi reactor back in the 1980s.

And also you see Arabic writing on something on the airfield (I wanna say it was the fuel stuff)

For some reason I thought it was Iran too. Thought I heard them mention Iran during a mission brief

I just assumed it was a generic "enemy" that had no effect on the actual plot.

The fighter jets they fight are Russian Su-57s

They say Uranium so much sometimes is sounds like Iranian.

In neither Top Gun movies do they mention who they're fighting. I assume to make it seem timeless. Iran? Russia? China? New Zealand? Latveria? Who knows, cause it doesn't matter.

Pretty sure it's a fictional, unnamed enemy. That's why their uniforms look like bad ass Star Wars characters.

At least they purposefully don't name the enemy.

This. I don't think they're meant to be any specific country.

But since we're talking about the movie, how badass was that Cobra maneuver the su-57 pulled off?
