CIREBON NEWS – Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, which is used by United States (US) troops, was heavily damaged as a result of an Iranian missile attack.
US assets in the Middle East have been the target of Tehran’s retaliatory attacks. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is determined to destroy military bases and other facilities linked to the US and Israel in the Gulf Region.
The damage to Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia was revealed after the Planet Labs satellite published a number of photos of the US-Israel war against Iran.

Publication of the damage to Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia apparently invited Washington’s anger. The White House orders satellite imagery censorship of Planet Labs.
The US government has pressured satellite imaging company Planet Labs to stop publishing photos of the Middle East. It seems that Washington is worried about publicity about the losses suffered by the US military.
Planet Labs said it would implement an “indefinite suspension of image publication” for images taken from March 9 onwards, at least until the US-Israel conflict with Iran ends, citing a request from the White House.
Planet Labs customers were notified of the policy change via email last week. Customers will find it difficult to get the facts that actually happen in the Middle East.
