" In use" seems a stretch, even without the rest of the picture, that's obviously a static display.

Just like the amount of bird shit that is on this display from birds sitting on the edge is a dead giveaway.

Agree 100% that this is not an in service plane, but apparently Iran still have about 60 heavily modified phantoms still flying. They also have lost about 140 of the number they originally purchased, so I'm guessing they have many options for a static display.
