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.

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