Switzerland just made a huge move that’s undoubtedly going to shake up US military operations, announcing it will no longer issue licenses for companies to export weapons to the United States. This is a pretty wild development, and it comes right alongside the Swiss government closing its airspace to US military flights directly linked to the ongoing war on Iran.
This decision stems from Switzerland’s deeply ingrained principle of neutrality. According to Al Jazeera, the Swiss government made it super clear in a statement that “The export of war materiel to countries involved in the international armed conflict with Iran cannot be authorized for the duration of the conflict.” They directly stated that “Exports of war materiel to the USA cannot currently be authorized,” which is a big wrench in the gears for US military logistics.
