Switzerland Suspends Arms Exports to the USA Due to War with Iran
https://militarnyi.com/en/news/switzerland-suspends-exports-usa-war-iran/
Just a note on the alleged US intent to invade Iran with ground troops. Of the possibilities:
United Arab Emirates
The UAE has been impacted by a strike on al Ruwais refinery, one of the largest refineries in the region. Likewise bin Zayed's al Dhafra airbase has been struck multiple times by Iran's miliary, highlighting the vulnerability of US American troops been hosted and staged there. As such it seems unlikely that the former United States will attempt to stage expeditionary troops there for a proposed invasion and occupation of Iran.
Israel/Jordan to Kuwait for staging
A source has suggested that US troop movements via Israel/Jordan through Northern Saudi into Kuwait (for staging) is a possibility. The foregoing seems unlikely since that distance of about 1400km for expeditionary troops to travel, to be staged in Kuwait... will obviate the element of 'surprise', ie a surprise attack and invasion of Iran will likely fail.
Qatar and Oman
Both Qatar and Oman have expressed some outrage at their treatment by both the US and Israel. For Qatar, shutting of the Qatar Energy Ras Laffan plant is nothing less than a disaster.

Likewise, the al Udeid airbase in Qatar has suffered multiple strikes, with no sign of such abating. Even though tangentially reported in the west, internally the situation Qatar is quite serious. Qatar's Emir is appraising its political alignment with the US, and certainly will not host a US Expeditionary force for a ground invasion of Iran.
Oman, which has long presented itself as being neutral in affairs of the region, and kept a low profile with regard to US/Israeli influence, certainly will not host a US Expeditionary Force for staging of an amphibious invasion of Iran.
Iraq-Iran Kurd autonomous region (KRG)
Disgruntled for decades regarding failure at self-determination, the Kurd autonomous government might accede to US/Israeli demands to host and participate with US forces in an invasion of Iran. Potentially Kurds may see this moment as being significant, to finally establish a truly independent Kurdish state.
However an independent Kurd state is anathema to Turkey, and Iranian Kurds are well aware of the risks involved in cooperating with US troops in a proposed invasion of Iran. The logistical element is challenging too, where US troops must be transported via Turkey or Syria to the Iraqi Kurd region, thus losing the element of surprise.
Azerbaijan
Logically the most expedient approach for an US Expeditionary Force to invade Iran is via the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan features a fairly weak government, owes favors to the west, and is generally corruptible. Even so, the alleged Iranian attack on the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan has been apprised by the Azeri government as potentially an Israeli 'false flag' attack. And Azerbaijan has expressed no desire to become embroiled in what may soon transpire as World War 3.
Tajikistan
Although Tajikistan has cooperated with the US military in the past, as in the case of Azerbaijan above, evidently Tajikistan has no desire to become embroiled in what may soon become World War 3.
Gulf of Oman
All of the above scenarios are nuanced. Based on the US American penchant for a direct approach, the most direct approach would be to mount an amphibious landing assault via the Gulf of Oman, via the more level shores well southeast of Tal, Iran. To mount an invasion here may not be the suicide mission that most media outlets portray it to be.
Based upon US military reports and other Intelligence reports that this author has seen, the claim exists that shoreline region southeast of Tal, Iran, is only lightly defended, and could provide a beach head to the west. Yet the territory to the west of Tal is far more precipitous and difficult, and is very well defended.
Finally, invariably, any statement made by the US federal government publicly must be mistrusted. Indeed, everything that the US federal government proclaims publicly, must be considered false, or a deception. Point being, that when the US government declares it is preparing an amphibious assault on Iran, that declaration is certainly either deception or a lie.
noun: brinksmanship (definition)
the art or practice of pursuing a dangerous policy to the limits of safety before stopping, especially in politics.
"in any game of brinkmanship, it is possible that one side will collapse suddenly"
I'll posit that US planners learned much from Iraqi brinksmanship regarding the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (August 2, 1990) where Iraqi leadership's sole mistake was to fail to pull out of Kuwait during a narrow window. Missing that window of opportunity led to the US invasion and reprisal versus Iraq thereafter. That is, Israeli and US planners have hoped to play the brinksmanship card with Iran for decades, believing that Iran's political structure would quickly collapse at the brink. Only now has the US-Israeli brinksmanship plan been implemented, and catastrophically backfired on the empire.
{As an aside, let's reject the notion that Donald Trump was entrapped by Israel and blackmailed by Israel, into all-out war with Iran now. IE that Trump is solely responsible for the attack on Iran of 28 Feb 2026. Powers far more potent than Trump have been planning this attack on Iran for decades. The collapse of Syria to an al Qaeda sympathetic failed state was the key that US/Israeli planners were waiting for.
It may be an embarrassment now to speak of the Deep State when the US electorate was so badly fooled by a pompous delusional Fox News fanatic and game show host who hypocritically pretended to oppose it, but the Neocon Deep State is more prevalent and powerful than it has ever been.)
So what is the US plan? The Tech Bros mandate is based on Disruption Theory has come home to roost in a manner no Realist ever expected. And whgatever the vile fimneds who populate the Federal government oif the Ubnited States have pplanned, we can only know that it will be cruel, deadly, murderous, and destructive to a world foiled by the demons who fly the flag of Satan as their National Emblem, while engaiung in a national policy of political assassination.
In other words, instead of asking what the US plan may for Iran's future, we must ask what is the Israeli plan. Certainly Israel is an enemy of the United States. Israel is an enemy and not an ally. Israel wishes to marginalize the United States, but not to such an extent that the US economy is totally destroyed. Like the parasite that it is, Israel may only thrive and continue to establish Greater Israel so long as the Host lives.
Right now the only hope in the world for the defeat of the Host and its Parasite is for Iran to exist and defend itself versus the Great Satan that the child-killers of the US and Israel have proven to be.
