Well, that's basically true. Although some of the details of specific gear
is top secret, and you're not going to see that by looking at the ship.

The only value in watching carrier deck ops is if there are specialists
who can tell what planes are being readied with what sort of loadout, then
you can predict what their mission will be. I strongly doubt there are any
Iranians with that kind of knowledge & experience, even if they did have
drone watching (which I also strongly doubt).

At one time Iran had the 2nd largest F-14 force in the world.
