Europe to delay Gulf satellite images
The European Union has approved a 24-hour delay in releasing satellite images from the "Sentinel-1" and "Sentinel-2" systems that cover the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz, at the request of the United States. This step was taken to prevent these data from being utilized by non-governmental parties or countries that might threaten the interests of the Union and regional states, especially amid ongoing military tensions in the Gulf and the US-imposed maritime blockade on Iran. This move marks a departure from the open data policy and has been justified as necessary to ensure that the images are not exploited in activities that could escalate tensions or threaten regional stability.
