the resolution is better (the picture stands for 2 meters per pixel), that lets you watch buildings swimming pools, and air-force air crafts..

Google Israel:Iran already knows the updated satellite pictures that are shown on Google Earth:

Google Israel

";
Israel already has an agreement with the US gov. & commercial satellite providers that says that they cant sell sat. pictures which has a better resolution than 2 pixels per meter.
Google Earth is based on avaiable data, via public places & commercial places.
the sat. pictures shown on Google Earth dont update that often (usually 6 'till 8 months)"

clarification :
the title refers to my opinon, and its not based on a true fact
