One of the most neutral countries on earth just took a side — and it wasn't the one Washington expected.
Swiss Defence Minister Martin Pfister told the SonntagsZeitung that US and Israeli air strikes on Iran violate international law. The Swiss Federal Council considers the attacks a breach of the prohibition on the use of force under the UN Charter. Pfister also said Iran's retaliatory actions violated the same principle.
He warned that Europe could be drawn into the conflict through terrorist attacks or a refugee wave, and noted that Switzerland had hosted two rounds of indirect US-Iran talks before the strikes, but diplomacy failed. While he doesn't believe Switzerland is directly threatened by Iranian missiles, he did not rule out collateral damage.
Switzerland is not alone. German Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil said he has "serious doubts this war is legitimate under international law" and declared Germany will not participate. Spain also denounced the strikes as illegal.
