Drone industry in sight: Switzerland adopts EU sanctions against Iran

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Ebrahim Raisi is president of Iran. Switzerland has now imposed sanctions on the drone industry in its country.

Switzerland is tightening its sanctions against the Iranian drone industry in connection with Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine. It adopts sanctions decided by the European Union last July.

The sale, supply, export and transit of parts used for the construction and production of drones are now prohibited, the Ministries of Economy, Education and Research (WBF) and Foreign Affairs (EDA) announced.

At its meeting on Friday, the Federal Council decided to join the EU sanctions. These apply from Friday 6 p.m. Financial and travel sanctions are also planned against individuals and organizations involved in supporting Iran’s drone program.

Russia uses Iranian drones

The Federal Council adopted the EU’s strengthened sanctions “in view of (…) Russia’s use of Iranian-made unmanned aircraft to support military aggression,” the statement said.

With this decision, the Federal Council continues its close partnership with the EU in the field of sanctions. Switzerland has been taking over EU sanctions on the supply of Iranian drones to Russia since the autumn of 2022. The measures are regulated in a regulation – and this is now being amended. (SDA)
