Switzerland’s Defence Minister, Martin Pfister, has said that recent attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel violate international law.

Pfister made the statement in an interview published on Sunday by the Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung.

He explained that the country’s governing body, the Federal Council, believes the strikes carried out against Iran go against international legal rules.

According to him, Switzerland’s government considers the attacks a breach of international law that prohibits countries from using force against one another.

“Our government believes the attack on Iran violates international law,” Pfister said. He added that the action conflicts with rules that prohibit the use of force between states. The Swiss defence minister also called on all sides involved in the conflict to stop fighting in order to protect civilians.

Pfister explained that his comments apply to any country that breaks the rule against the use of force, including the United States and Israel.

He said the two countries carried out airstrikes on Iran and that, in doing so, they also violated international law, similar to the accusations already being made against Iran.

His remarks are similar to concerns raised by Germany’s Vice-Chancellor and Finance Minister, Lars Klingbeil. Klingbeil said he has serious doubts about whether the attacks are legally justified under international law.

He also warned that the world could face a dangerous situation if international rules stop being respected.
“There is a risk that we could move into a world without rules,” Klingbeil said.

Meanwhile, Spain has also criticised the bombing of Iran by the United States and Israel, describing the strikes as reckless and contrary to international law.

These men must be terrorist sympathizers.

I say so because according to some nairaland geopolitics experts and professors, anyone that condemns US & Israel strike on the Islamic Iranian Regime must be a sympathizer of terrorists.

Trump would soon come after him for saying the truth in his face...


Kudos to Switzerland and Spain for standing in the face of a bully.


Some countries are afraid to say the truth in his face and so are beating around the bush!

Tariff is his mojo...

They were quiet initially but now finding their mojo since Iran lumped all of them with Trump's murderous aggression on Iran, killing the Supreme Leader and 168 innocent Iranian school girls.

Switzerland, the home of Red Cross, is a huge disgrace on this issue and it is pathetic!

It is this their sickening hypocrisy that make nations run into the arms of Putin, China and Iran.

As horrible as their propaganda media painted Putin, same Putin has not assasinated Zelensky and 168 innocent Ukranian school girls in one fell swoop!

US is under-declaring their fatalities. Iran is right that the US fatalities runs into hundreds. The death of one was just announced.

More than 32,000 Americans returned from Middle East since start of war
More than 32,000 American citizens have returned to the United States from the Middle East since the start of the war. The State Department reported it has completed 24 charter flights and provided direct assistance to an additional 19,000 citizens staying overseas. Assistant Secretary of State Dylan Johnson noted that more than half of the citizens who initially requested help to leave are declining the transportation options offered by the administration, with some preferring to remain in their countries. However, he added that the U.S. will continue to assist any American who requests to leave the region and efforts to expand charter flights and ground transportation continue.

There is nothing called international law when it involves world powers such as US, Russia, China, Israel, NK or any other Nuclear world powers. Breaking of international laws is only applicable to countries without nuclear power.

If Switzerland can rebuke you, then you are finished!

Keep quiet...

Iran sponsors terrorism around the world

I have been seeing this all through the week and i find it very irritating along with yesterday front page thread where the state of Israel alleges that Iran is sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria.
Its just annoying knowing that people actually believe that.

Let me try to break it down to ppl like you.
There are two category of Muslims, Sunni and Shittes
Iranians are the custodians of the Shias and yes they are affiliated with Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis

The Saudis are the custodian of the Sunnis and they are supported by Israel and the United States
Nigeria Muslims are majorly Sunnis and now think about this
Isis, Iswap, Bokoharam, Lakurawa, Taliban are all Sunnis

So tell me who is sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria?
The major presence of Shias in Nigeria are the followers of El Zakzakky and we only get to know them when they stone the convoy of Buratai's then.. can we now compare that to the Bokoharam, Iswap, Lakurawa that are being funded by the US, Israel, Saudis, UAE

All these tiny European countries that couldn't defend themselves should sit somewhere jor. Switzerland of Less that 5m people dey chuk mouth for international matter. Shioor

You won't blame most people. They don't know the origin of the crises. US and Iran has a long history. The average Nigerian is not different from Daniel Bwala when presented with facts.

That killed over 30,000 of it's citizens,are you OK!!!!!
