Amazing photo! I didn't know what it was so I looked at Iranian Air Force inventory and saw they have the Mirage F1, which seems to match up with the photo. Do you know if that's the right plane or not?
I'm not an expert in Plane ID' yet! but I think it matches. Only info about the Photo is that was taken an RF-4E, No time / date / place / crew mentioned or published.
 
Any love for the MiG-19? Because of the Chinese as the Shenyang J6 it has been through multiple variants produced over a period of 31 years.

The two-seater was unique to Chinese production as the original manufacturer didn't pursue it as a production aircraft.

One of the very first production batches of the J6, the Dong Feng 102; these were so badly put together the PLAAF refused to accept them and they were scrapped wholesale, making this a rare survivor.
