Satellite images of the Iranian cities of Arak and Natanz showing changes to the facilities in the areas when compared with images taken in October 2010 were released by Google following a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which expressed 'serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme'.
The satellite images are being used by the UN to claim that facilities at the two Iranian cities may be used to develop nuclear weapons.
The IAEA report released earlier this week states that while some activities in Iran have civilian as well as military applications, others are 'specific to nuclear weapons'.
There were indications in the dossier that the country had conducted detonator development, as well as high explosives testing and electronic modelling of a nuclear warhead core.
The IAEA report, which ‘completely discredits’ the Islamic nation’s protestations of innocence, according to UK Foreign Secretary William Hague, cites preparatory work for a nuclear weapons test, reports the Daily Mail.
