Neither. French plane, can't remember the name of it. Rounded intakes, swept back wings, and the kicker is the fins on the drop tanks -- very similar to the Mirage drop tank fins. I don't think other Western air forces have that (could be wrong).

French-made Dassault Mirage F1, early '80s multirole fighter. Fast critter too at M2.2, and the only Mirage fighter that's not a tailless delta. Operated by Ecuador, France, Greece, Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Libya, Morocco, Spain and South-Africa.

Another low-flying Mirage clip that toured the boards a while ago:

Clicky!

This time a M2000, F1 and a Sepcat Jaguar.
