Hawzah News Agency- "In light of the overflights by US military aircraft through Austrian airspace, a clear line is needed: Our neutrality is non-negotiable and must be consistently upheld, especially now'', Andreas Babler wrote on social media platform X.
He added that with such overflights, even missions not directly entering conflict zones but supporting military actions must face scrutiny.
Austria has maintained a longstanding neutrality policy since 1955, which prohibits joining military alliances or allowing foreign bases on its territory.
The remarks came in the second month of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Iran has responded with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states hosting US forces.
While Trump has called on the US’s NATO allies in Europe to contribute naval forces to secure the Strait of Hormuz, several key members have resisted involvement, highlighting strategic differences and debate over the purpose of the alliance.
