Satellite firm pauses imagery after revealing Iran's attacks on US bases
- On Friday, Planet Labs PBC said it will hold back high-resolution satellite images for 96 hours of Gulf States targeted by Iranian drone attacks.
- As background, Planet said the 96-hour delay was 'temporary' and followed an earlier 30-day Gaza hold, citing safety and responsible data practices.
- Normally, Planet Labs’ imagery is released almost immediately to clients including AFP, but the company did not say if US authorities requested the 96-hour hold, Planet said.

- Notably, Iran was left out of the 96-hour hold, and Planet warned 'As the conflict evolves, the area impacted may change', so coverage scope could shift.
