Planet Labs, a US-based satellite imagery provider, announced it would withhold all images of Iran and surrounding regions indefinitely, acting on a request from the Trump administration. This move has been criticized by rights advocates like Sarah Wilkinson, who argue it is an attempt to censor information about the ongoing conflict, which has seen increased military actions from the US and Israel. Reports indicate that Iran's military capabilities are stronger than previously thought, contradicting US intelligence assessments. The announcement coincides with heightened tensions, as President Donald Trump threatened further attacks on Iran's civilian infrastructure. Recent US strikes have resulted in at least 13 fatalities and significant damage to facilities, including a petrochemical complex. The World Health Organization has expressed concerns that military actions near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant could lead to a nuclear accident. The withholding of imagery complicates the ability of journalists and organizations to monitor the situation accurately, as noted by Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch.
