No one, they funded themselves. Since the Soviet Union had no capability that the Iranians could use, i.e. the Iranian Air Force had equipment superior to anything the Soviets had at the time, not superior numbers, but superior technology, what could they have done. Send in explosives, maybe, but so what. Hussein had been buying Soviet military equipment for a long time by then.

Oh, right...it was merely a proxy war with the Soviets.
