They are no doubt getting good but Iranian airspace is vast, can't cover everywhere, Can't keep the ground based radars on all the time, anti radiation weapons such as AGM-88 HARM and Harpy will find and destroy them. Having a mobile force in the shape of air superiority fighters that can share radar data with SAM systems would help out greatly.Iran air defence missiles and batteries are our line of defence.
Even f 35 can't come near our borders easily
F-14 is a great choice since the original F-14 already had a huge radar and a AIM-54 Phoenix which was very impressive at the time. Now there are even beter options from Russia.
I would also suggest making an AWACS version of that simurg cargo plane.
