Airstrikes fail to halt activity at alleged Iranian base in Syria, images show
Satellite images can be seen at the link. Construction must be more expensive, and less comfortable, as a result of the attacks, yet another straw on the Mullah government camel’s back.
[IsraelTimes] Satellite images show that construction is proceeding at a military base allegedly controlled by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

is seen as a critical element in Tehran’s efforts to create a land corridor under its control from Iran, through Iraq and Syria, into Leb and out to the Mediterranean Sea.

From September 9 to 21, new access roads were created, buildings were completed and additional construction equipment was brought in to the base.

Work has also continued on two border crossings on either side of the Syria-Iraq border. An official Iraqi-controlled crossing is not yet active, but could be made operational shortly.

The second crossing, which is believed to be controlled by Iran through Shiite militias, is under "intense construction," according to ImageSat.

This can be seen in the large amount of construction equipment visible at the site.
