The Swiss Government announced that it will not grant new licenses to export war materiel to the United States while the armed conflict with Iran continues.
This is based on the Swiss federal law on war materiel, which strictly prohibits exports to countries involved in active international armed conflicts.
According to the official statement, “the export of war materiel to countries involved in the international armed conflict with Iran cannot be authorised for the duration of the conflict.”
The United States, which in 2025 was the second-largest buyer of Swiss armaments, now faces blocked new authorizations, although existing ones are not immediately revoked.
