According to Switzerland's federal government website, the Swiss Federal Council rejected on the 14th an application for two U.S. military aircraft to fly over Swiss airspace in relation to Iran-related military operations. The statement said that the Swiss Federal Council made decisions that day on multiple applications for U.S. military aircraft to fly over Swiss airspace. In accordance with laws regarding neutrality, the Swiss Federal Council rejected an application by the United States for two reconnaissance aircraft to fly over Swiss airspace on the 15th. Switzerland's decision is that in future applications to fly over airspace, those clearly unrelated to the conflict will be approved. If applications exceed normal flight ranges and their purposes cannot be determined, they will be rejected. Applications involving humanitarian and medical purposes should be approved.
