Switzerland's Federal Council must examine whether neutrality law applies to the USA after US attacks on Iran, with application potentially restricting US military flights and weapons deliveries. The Federal Council has not yet decided on neutrality law, and the FDFA says it cannot yet assess if the escalation meets application requirements. The Swiss arms industry is alarmed about potential restrictions on weapons exports, as partner countries like Germany or Denmark are already refraining from buying security goods from Switzerland.
Two inquiries regarding a ban on overflights have been submitted for parliamentary question time, and the USA is currently deliberately flying around neutral Switzerland and Austria with its fighter jets.
We have little contact with people in Iran, the internet is almost completely shut down across the country.
From initial hope, it is now moving more into fear.
