The government of Switzerland has announced that it is suspending weapons exports to the United States due to the ongoing war involving Iran, citing its long-standing policy of neutrality.
Under Swiss law, the export of war materials is not permitted to countries involved in active international conflicts. Authorities said that, as long as the conflict continues, new licenses for arms exports to the United States will not be approved.
Officials emphasized that the move is intended to maintain Switzerland’s neutral stance and avoid becoming indirectly involved in the conflict.
The decision highlights the challenges Switzerland faces in balancing its neutrality with international partnerships, especially during periods of escalating global tensions.
