Amidst the Iran war, Switzerland has taken a big decision and limited the use of its airspace for American military aircraft. The Swiss government has said that its old policy is to remain neutral, so American aircraft related to the war will not be allowed to pass through its airspace. In a statement issued on Saturday (14 March 2026), the government said that two American reconnaissance aircraft were not allowed to pass through the airspace of Switzerland on 15 March. According to officials, these flights were directly related to the ongoing war with Iran, hence they were not approved.

However, the Swiss government gave permission to 3 other American flights. These include two transport aircraft on March 15 and one maintenance flight on March 17. This decision was taken by the Swiss Federal Council after reviewing several requests. These requests came to the Federal Office of Civil Aviation, which handles matters related to such diplomatic permission. Switzerland has made it clear that flights related to humanitarian or medical aid will continue to be allowed. For example, flights carrying injured people or aircraft involved in relief work can use Swiss airspace.

Today the Swiss government discussed military overflight requests from the US. Citing the law of neutrality, the Federal Council rejected two requests made in connection with the war in Iran. It decided to permit three flights. Details in DE/FR/IT: https://t.co/Dps46MlpBG

War between America and Iran

This decision of Switzerland has come at a time when the war between America and Iran has reached its third week. This war started on February 28, when America and Israel attacked Iran. According to the report, more than 2000 people have died so far in this war, most of whom are from Iran. This conflict has also affected the world’s oil supply. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has appealed to the countries taking oil from the Gulf region to send their navies to protect the ships. Iran had warned of retaliation after the US attack on Kharg Island and tension has increased around the Strait of Hormuz.

The ongoing war in the Middle East is becoming increasingly serious. According to the report, America and Israel have discussed the possibility of sending special forces to Iran. The purpose of this operation may be to secure Iran’s highly enriched uranium reserves.

This information has come to light in a report by Axios, in which four sources have been quoted as saying that such a step can be taken in the next phase of the war. Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has given a strict warning on social media. He said that if anyone harms American citizens or threatens them anywhere, America will find and eliminate him. This statement has been shared through the official account of United States Central Command (CENTCOM).

Also shared a 21 second video

CENTCOM also released a 21-second video along with this warning, which shows the US military targeting vehicles and buildings during recent military operations. Through this, an attempt was made to send the message that the American Army is ready to respond to any threat.

Trump made a big claim

Meanwhile, Donald Trump claimed that Iran’s top leadership has been eliminated due to American action. He said that this step is like removing a big threat from the world. The US President said that America has got a big lead in the war and Iran’s military power has suffered huge damage. According to Trump, Iran’s navy has been almost destroyed in the American attacks and 44 ships have been destroyed. He also said that most of Iran’s fighter aircraft and missile capabilities have also been destroyed. According to him, many missile manufacturing factories have also been attacked, due to which Iran’s military capability has reduced considerably.

What did Trump say about the attack on Iran’s school?

Trump also said that Iran’s drone capability has also become very weak and now fewer missiles are being fired than before. He claimed that about 70 percent of the rocket launchers have also been destroyed, which is a big blow to Iran. However, questions were also raised regarding the bomb attack on a school in the midst of the war. Reports said that a bomb has fallen on a girls’ school in Iran. On this Trump said that America is not responsible for this. They claim that this incident may have happened due to misdirection of Iran’s own weapons or technical fault.

How long will the Iran war last, what did Trump say?

Trump did not give any clear answer regarding the time limit of the war. He said that the operation will continue as long as necessary. According to him, Iran’s army is now almost annihilated, but America is still deciding on the future strategy. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said that the possibility of a diplomatic solution still remains. However, he also said that in the earlier talks, Iran did not seem ready for an agreement regarding its nuclear program.

Right to enrich uranium – Iran

Iran has said it has the right to enrich uranium and has fuel enriched to 60 percent, which could be enough to make about 11 nuclear bombs. Due to this, the concern of America and its allies has increased further. This entire crisis intensified after the joint American-Israeli military operation that started on February 28. In this operation, news of the death of many senior officials including Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei came to light. After this, Iran retaliated by launching drone and ballistic missile attacks on American bases and allied countries present in many countries. Countries like Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Jordan have also been mentioned in these attacks.

Israeli Defense Force also gave information

Meanwhile, the Israeli Defense Force also informed that the Israeli Air Force has attacked several military targets in Tehran. According to the army, in these attacks the storage centers providing fuel to Iran’s military units were targeted. The Israeli Army says that these attacks have caused major damage to Iran’s military system and further weakened its military bases. Due to increasing attacks and retaliation, tension is increasing rapidly across West Asia and the danger to the common people as well as to the foreign nationals living there has increased.
