Switzerland Halts Weapons Exports to US Citing Neutrality Amid Iran Conflict
•Switzerland announced it will not issue licenses for companies to export weapons to the United States due to ongoing attacks on Iran.
•The government stated that export of war materiel to countries involved in the international armed conflict with Iran cannot be authorized for the duration of the conflict.
•This decision follows Switzerland's rejection of two US flyover requests for Iran-related war flights, while permitting three others, citing neutrality law.
•Since the Israeli and US strikes on Iran on February 28, no new licenses have been issued for war materiel exports to the US.
•Switzerland has not granted definitive licenses for war materiel exports to Israel for several years and will regularly review developments.
