Since you seem to be into air warfare, there's little else but older stuff like:
Mind: these three were published in 2002-2004 period, and could all need a great deal of 'overhauls and upgrades'. The publishing of the first one caused a small 'publishing revolution' in Iran in particular, thus there is plenty of new info.
Here are few examples for diverse 'updates':
Much newer, and then providing 'the other side's point of view' would be such like:
For ground warfare, there's meanwhile an entire series suitably titled Iran-Iraq War. This was sold out, but a 2nd edition is due out in early 2019.
Finally, for better understanding of all the possible rumours about (supposed) Iranian acquisitions of Russian weapons (all of which rarely materialize), and the reasons for generally sad condition of the IRIAF in particular (also why diverse projects like F-14AM always stop at 'one prototype only'), see: Iran is Too Much of a Mess to Acquire Russian Weaponry.
Similarly, reasons why at least 'rumours' on specific missile-related projects should be taken seriously, are described in a four-part series of articles starting here: Iran Is Building Air Defenses Against Stealth Aircraft
If you want to read up on the history of combat aviation in Iran's Air force, I recommend you talk to /u/x_tc_x. Who is he?
He is an Austrian military aviation author and co-author of these books:
1
2
3
4
He is pretty active on reddit and comments on the Syrian Civil war conflict almost everyday.
Edit: I read the 3rd book and while it mostly focuses on the Arab-Israeli wars, it taught me some things that surprised me and fell in place quite nicely given other things that I knew of these wars. So, I definitely recommend all 4 books. I only skimmed through the 2nd and 4th books.
