Can you expand on "the Trump/Iran release was estimated to be pretty close to the diffraction limit"? What is this in reference to?

I think your question was misunderstood, as the other replies do not go into any details on diffraction limit at all.

I too would be interested in knowing if this image is showing all we got, or because someone else looked at it and said "sure you can release it, we've got better than that anyway."
