If I’m reading the article correctly, imagery over Iran is available to clients; but that of U.S. assets is not. Seemingly this is explained by: > Planet also holds lucrative contracts selling overhead imagery to the US military and US government intelligence agencies. Nice company you got there. ‘Be a shame if you lost those U.S. government contracts.
