During April 1991, the Iraqi foreign ministry published the following list of Iraqi aircraft flown out to Iran, and accordingly requested these aircraft back. The Iranians didn't return anything. Over the years the list became corrupted and that is why you see claims of MiG-25 and Tu-22s, etc.

- 24 Mirage F.1EQ/BQ
- 24 Su-24MK
- 40 Su-22
- 4 Su-20
- 7 Su-25
- 4 MiG-29
- 7 MiG-23ML
- 4 MiG-23BN
- 1 MiG-23UB
- 15 Il-76
- 2 Boeing 747
- 2 Boeing 737
- 1 Boeing 727
- 1 Boeing 707
- 2 Dassault Falcon
- 1 Lockheed Jetstar

The Iranians did return the Airbus that Iraq stole from Kuwait.

- 1 Airbus 300
- 5 Airbus A310
