flag Planet Labs extends Middle East satellite image release to 14 days to prevent enemy use of high-res data amid conflict.

flag Planet Labs has extended its delay in releasing Middle East satellite imagery to 14 days to prevent adversaries from using high-resolution data to target U.S. and allied forces amid ongoing regional conflict. flag The move, affecting Iran, Gulf States, and active war zones, follows a prior 96-hour delay and is intended to limit tactical misuse. flag The company consulted experts but did not confirm if a government directive prompted the change. flag Competitor Vantor also enforces stricter access controls during conflicts, acting independently without government mandates. flag Both firms play key roles in providing geospatial data for conflict reporting where on-the-ground access is limited.
