Planet Labs is delaying release of satellite images from the Gulf states and conflict zones (excluding Iran) by 96 hours, citing safety concerns for allies and civilians amid the Middle East war. They had previously applied a similar hold on Gaza images. https://www.trtworld.com/article/814599eb831c

Interesting that Iran's exempt. Makes you wonder about the real reasons behind the policy.

Safety first, I get it. But 4 days is a long time in a fast-moving conflict.

They already do this for Gaza. Seems like a reasonable precaution if it helps avoid civilian harm.

Delays on sensitive imagery are standard intel practice. Not really shocking news.
