Switzerland has condemned Iran's night-time attack on Israel in no uncertain terms and called on all sides to remain calm. "Switzerland condemns the coordinated attacks from Iran against Israel in the strongest possible terms," the Foreign Ministry announced on Platform X on Sunday morning. The attack significantly increases the risks for the region.
In the statement, Switzerland appealed to all sides to exercise the greatest possible restraint. "The spiral of escalation must be stopped immediately."
For the first time in the history of the Islamic Republic, Iran directly attacked its arch-enemy Israel. According to the Israeli military, around 200 drones and missiles were fired in the large-scale attack. According to the military, Israel's air defenses intercepted the vast majority of the missiles while they were still outside Israel's borders. Only a small number of missiles hit Israeli territory, and there were no fatalities or major damage.
