The BBC quoted analysts at British intelligence company Mizar as saying that images captured in November showed excavation and new construction work at at least 12 Iranian military sites, including missile complexes and airbases. The images also showed the removal of damaged buildings and debris, as well as the installation of new roofs over structures that had been destroyed.
According to the image analysis, the work includes the Taleghan 2 facility at the Parchin military complex, where signs indicate that extensive construction work is nearing completion. Damaged buildings appear to have been levelled, while damage to an underground bunker has been repaired and reinforced with concrete.
Analysts also identified excavation and the construction of new buildings at a base near Tehran and another facility at Shahroud in northern Iran.
US Offers Reward of Up to $20 Million
In a parallel move, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that the State Department's Rewards for Justice programme is offering up to $20 million, with the possibility of alternative accommodation and relocation, in exchange for information about Iran’s nuclear programme.
The requested information includes details about facilities, equipment and individuals linked to the programme, including members of the scientific community, according to a statement published by CENTCOM on X.
Established in 1984, the Rewards for Justice programme offers financial incentives for information that helps protect Americans and US interests.
In a statement regarding the reward, the US State Department said Iran's non-compliance with its safeguards agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had deprived the agency of information about Iran's production and stockpiles of key components, including centrifuges.
The department did not specify detailed criteria outlining what type of information would qualify for the reward.
Trump: Iran Is Eager to Reach a Deal
The US move comes as President Donald Trump continues to insist that American strikes destroyed Iran's nuclear programme, while also claiming that Tehran wants an agreement to end the conflict.
Speaking on Friday, Trump said that without a strike against Iran, Israel would not exist today. He added that if Tehran had acquired nuclear weapons, it would have used them, potentially wiping out the entire Middle East.
Trump also said the United States was currently dealing with Iran and that Tehran was "very eager to make a deal."
