Assadollah Adeli (Persian: اسدالله عادلی) is an Iranian retired fighter pilot on the Grumman F-14 Tomcat who served during the Iran–Iraq War.

[1] French military historian Pierre Razoux has credited him with five aerial victories, a record that qualifies him as a flying ace.

[2] Together with his radar intercept officer (RIO) Mohammad Masbuq, they hold the record for shooting down three aircraft with one single missile.

This took place on 7 January 1981, when they shot down three MiG-23 fighter aircraft of the Iraqi Air Force that were flying in a close formation at around 2,000 feet over Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf.

[3][4][5] Cooper and Bishop list the three MiG-23s among confirmed kills by Iranians, without being able to identify the pilots.
