"Satellite Imaging Giant Cuts Off Iran and Middle East Coverage Amid Escalating Tensions. In a surprise move, Planet Labs, a leading provider of satellite imagery, has announced that it will indefinitely restrict coverage of Iran and parts of the Middle East. The decision comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with the US and its allies imposing sanctions on Iran and the country's nuclear program remaining a point of contention. As a result, policymakers and researchers who rely on Planet Labs' high-resolution satellite images to track developments in the region will have to find alternative sources, potentially limiting their ability to monitor and analyze key events."
