Planet Labs, one of the world’s leading commercial satellite imaging companies, said Friday it is placing a hold on releasing imagery of some parts of the Middle East as a regional war enters its second week.

Planet wants to prevent "adversarial actors" from using images for "Battle Damage Assessment" purposes.

The article says images over Iran are still available without delay. It's the regions around around that are affected. I assume it is to hide the effectiveness of Iran retaliation to Iran or to public opinion.
