Figure out where you can't buy pictures to narrow it down, if you want a more exact match, pay for pictures from that area from non US providers.

Planet Labs PBC, a leading provider of high resolution images taken from space, said Friday it would hold back for 96 hours images of Gulf states targeted by Iranian drone attacks.

It did not say if it had acted at the request of US authorities.

Do them publish the banned coordinates in a list too? Maybe they could put the reason at each line.
