Why would you think it is a lie? Planet Labs' SkySat satellites have been flying for a decade and have 30cm resolution. The UK ones are based on existing Carbonite satellite that do 90cm.
If anything, having only 90cm when could be better is the odd thing.

The other reason why it might be a lie is because the exact specs of spy gear is often kept secret. It is very hard to disguise the fact that you have launched a satelite, but comparatively easy to keep it secret what exactly is on it.
