Switzerland halts arms exports to US over Iran war, citing neutrality

 Ursula von der Leyen and Swiss President Guy Parmelin iSwitzerland has moved to suspend new approvals for arms exports to the United States amid the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, citing its long-standing policy of neutrality and legal restrictions under domestic export controls.

In a statement on Friday, the Swiss government said "exports of war materiel to the US cannot currently be authorised", pointing to Washington’s involvement in an "international armed conflict" in the Middle East.

It added that "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 decision formalises a position already in practice. Swiss authorities noted that since the beginning of the war on 28 February, "no new licences have been issued for exports of war materiel to the US".

The measure applies specifically to new orders for arms and ammunition, effectively pausing fresh approvals while the conflict continues.

Trump says US had 'no idea' Israel would attack Pars gas field in Iran

Israel bombs gas field in iranUS President Donald Trump on Thursday America had 'no idea' of Israel's attack on facilities linked to Iran's oil industry in South Pars and Asaluyeh, warning of severe military consequences if Tehran launches more attacks on  Qatar's energy infrastructure, as tensions across the Gulf escalated following strikes on major liquefied natural gas facilities.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit."

On Wednesday, facilities linked to Iran’s oil industry in South Pars and Asaluyeh came under attack, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

"The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen," Trump said, adding that Israel will "NO MORE" target Iran’s South Pars gas field unless Tehran “unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar”.

In such a scenario, the United States, “with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before”, Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Satellite images show the USS Tripoli taking Marines to Iran

Tripoli carrying marines to IranAt least one U.S. Navy warship carrying more than 2,000 Marines is on its way to the Middle East, signaling an additional military buildup in the area and fueling speculation about American ground forces being deployed in Iran.
Satellite images showed the USS Tripoli (LHA 7), an America-class amphibious assault ship, and two escort ships were traveling southwest across the South China Sea on March 15. The warship was spotted near Singapore a day later.
The Tripoli is carrying personnel from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, a rapid-response force of about 2,200 Marines and Navy sailors based in Okinawa, Japan. The MEU contains ground and aerial combat units.
A number of news sources reported the deployment, citing unidentified U.S. officials. It's unclear whether the Tripoli's two escort ships will continue to the Middle East.

The Pentagon hasn’t officially said how many U.S. service members are part of the Iran war. News reports put the number at 40,000 to 50,000.

US military drops 5,000-pound deep-penetrator bombs near Strait of Hormuz

5000 lb. bombThe U.S. military dropped multiple 5,000-pound deep-penetrator bombs on “hardened” Iranian anti-ship missile sites on Tuesday along the country’s coastline near the Strait of Hormuz.

“The Iranian anti-ship cruise missiles in these sites posed a risk to international shipping in the strait,” the U.S. Central Command (Centcom) said.

The employment of the munitions, known as Coastal Defense Cruise Missiles, comes as the Iranian military has attacked ships in the strait, through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil supply flows. 

Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s new supreme leader, previously said the strait would remain closed off in response to the airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel, a joint operation that kicked off on Feb. 28. 

Since the war began, gas prices have gone up in the U.S. and around the world due to disruptions in oil markets.

Israel Killed Over a Dozen Lebanese Paramedics in Three Days, Now Claiming That Ambulances Are “Hezbollah” Targets

Israel  kills Lebanese paramedicsIn early October 2025, Lebanese paramedic Haj Qassem Sultan stood outside Marjayoun Government Hospital in southern Lebanon and addressed Lebanese TV.

“Our message is clear. Even if we are killed one by one, we will not abandon our duty,” he said. “We will continue to serve Khiam and Marjayoun and Al-Taybeh and Debbine and all of our sacred land.”

He was attending a memorial for seven of his colleagues who were killed exactly one year earlier in an Israeli airstrike on ambulances parked outside the hospital. Five other paramedics, including Sultan, were wounded in the attack, in what human rights groups said was an apparent war crime.

On Friday, Sultan was killed in another Israeli strike on an Islamic Health Authority (IHA) medical center in Burj Qalaouiyah in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil District. The bombing destroyed the facility, killing 12 people, including on-duty doctors, paramedics, nurses, and three patients.

The majority of the victims worked with the IHA, a healthcare and emergency service provider affiliated with Hezbollah that operates rescue and medical services in Beirut’s southern suburbs and across much of southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.

Israel’s plan to expand Lebanon ground campaign fuels fears of prolonged occupation

Israela attacks on LebanonIsrael’s announcement on Monday of a ground campaign in new areas of southern Lebanon is fuelling fears of a prolonged occupation among hundreds of thousands of displaced Lebanese.

Concerns intensified after Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, drawing comparisons with Gaza, warned displaced Lebanese forced from their homes would not be allowed to return until the safety of Israelis near the border was guaranteed, remarks that appeared to suggest the presence of Israeli troops could become prolonged.

Israel’s announcement on Monday of a ground campaign in new areas of southern Lebanon is fuelling fears of a prolonged occupation among hundreds of thousands of displaced Lebanese.

Concerns intensified after Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, drawing comparisons with Gaza, warned displaced Lebanese forced from their homes would not be allowed to return until the safety of Israelis near the border was guaranteed, remarks that appeared to suggest the presence of Israeli troops could become prolonged.

“Hundreds of thousands of Shi’ite residents of southern Lebanon who have evacuated or are evacuating their homes in southern Lebanon and Beirut will not return to areas south of the Litani line until the safety of northern residents is ensured,” Katz said in a statement. ‘‘Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have instructed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to destroy the terror infrastructure in the contact villages near the border in Lebanon,” he added, “just as was done against Hamas in Rafah, Beit Hanoun and the terror tunnels in Gaza”.
