The U.S. government asked satellite companies to restrict imagery of the Iran conflict, and Planet Labs is now limiting access.

They company is moving to “managed access”, images released only case-by-case.

Delays extended (up to ~2 weeks for new imagery).

The aircraft is linked to the 427th Special Operations Squadron.

Iran managed to hit the Ne’ot Hovav industrial zone in southern Israel.

Trump:

We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran. The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close. He is a highly respected Colonel.

This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to “man and equipment.” It just doesn’t happen! The second raid came after the first one, where we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, also unusual, spending seven hours over Iran. An AMAZING show of bravery and talent by all!

I will be having a News Conference, with the Military, at the Oval Office, on Monday, at 1:00 P.M. God Bless our great MILITARY WARRIORS!

BREAKING: Trump:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!

Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.

Trump to Iran:

Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards!

Or you’ll be living in Hell!

Netanyahu congratulates Trump:

Donald, my dear friend, once again your decisive leadership brought another great victory to America.

Trump:

Praise be to Allah!
