10. Maybe they didn't use the planes in the rescue, so if they remained, they would have been "stuck"?

If they used a helicopter or other plane to get the pilot out, the transport planes probably were not worth the risk to retrieve.

Sorta like, "I'm stuck in the house because my mom grounded me"...Not literally "stuck"

It is possible the planes were physically stuck in sand or muck, or they are using the other form of common usage such as "We're stuck with Trump"....."I'm stuck living here"....

Either way, they did not want Iran to obtain the planes.
