Not much use unless the Iranians don't have any RRP, otherwise they'll have to revisit every day and repeat. (Unless they took the opportunity in the following couple of hours to take out every exposed aircraft, revetment and HAS at the same time of course).

I note they used GBU-39s - pity nobody has anything like the JP-223 with denial submunitions any more.

Before/after video slideshows
n the opening hours of the war, US/Israeli aircraft blanketed Iran’s Hamedan Air Base with GBU-39 SDBs, cratering runways, taxiways, and access points.

No intact stretch of asphalt longer than 1,000m remains, effectively rendering the base unusable for the IRIAF.

Dezful saw a similar treatment.
