The long-range, wide-body planes, which were formerly owned by the French Air and Space Force (AAE), landed in Iran on May 23, the report said.
The aircraft had been retired from service with the AAE in December 2020 and were stored in Châteauroux, France, from March 2021 until spring 2022.
The two planes had not flown for a year before they made their way to Iran.
Analysts say that Iran's ability to purchase and operate military-owned aircraft from the heart of Europe shows the diminishing impact of sanctions imposed by the United States and other Western governments.
Following the nuclear deal of 2015, Iran placed orders for 200 brand new passenger planes from Airbus and Boeing. The contracts, however, were scrapped in 2018 after the United States withdrew from the accord and restored sanctions on Iran.
