The caption quite clearly says it is a "civilian platform" meaning someplace off-base, probably elevated, from which a person has a clear line on sight onto the base. Now personally this picture does nothing to convince me that the aircraft are operational, for one thing the aircraft are not moving, they obviously aren't in the most secure location (which you would expect their most advanced aircraft to be hidden in a safe location), and it would be in the best interest of the Iranian Air Force to keep their existance a secret since if they are working they would be the most useful piece of equipment in the Iranian arsenal should the US attack.
