FRANKFURT, March 14 (Reuters) - The Swiss ​government said on Saturday that ‌it discussed requests by U.S. military and official aircraft to fly over the country, ​and based on its law ​of neutrality, rejected two Iran-related war ⁠flights but permitted three others.

“The law ​on neutrality prohibits overflights by ​parties to the conflict that serve a military purpose related to the conflict. Permitted ​are humanitarian and medical transits, ​including the transport of wounded persons, as ‌well ⁠as overflights that are unrelated to the conflict,” the government said in a statement.

The three approved ​requests were ​applicable to ⁠two transportation and one maintenance aircraft.

Switzerland also said ​future requests for overflights would ​be ⁠rejected if they exceed normal traffic, and if the purpose of ⁠these ​overflights cannot be ​determined.
