New GE images are available for the Safir launch pad area. Also, there is a much larger launch pad for Simorgh (presumably Imam Khomeini Space Center) and few new buildings.
There are couple of points I like to mention about the images I posted.
At the time the images were taken, the Safir launch pad seems quite busy and transport truck is visible and the pad is quite clean. It seems they were preparing it for something, maybe a launch.
On another note, in the space research center image there is an extra exhaust diversion tunnel (I am not sure about the technical term) northeast of the finished test tower and it look about the same size.
Last, the new launch pad is quite interesting. It seems that there are two launch towers one for Safir launcher and a bigger one for Simorgh. The exhaust diversion tunnel for Safir is visible, however, the exhaust diversion tunnel for Simorgh tower is not visible and maybe not finished yet.
