Planet Labs withholds Gulf satellite imagery for 96 hours after Iranian drone strikes Planet Labs will delay public release of newly captured satellite imagery over Gulf states for 96 hours after Iranian drone attacks, citing risk that adversaries could use near‑real‑time images for "battle‑damage assessment." The pause impacts media, commercial customers and researchers who normally receive images almost immediately.
