Iran Summons Polish Envoy Over London Display Of Captured Russian Shahed Drone

Mahmoud Heidari, Iran’s Foreign Ministry director general for Mediterranean and Eastern European affairs, summoned Polish Ambassador Marcin Wilczek on Thursday to deliver what Tehran called a “strong protest” over the Monday event at UK Parliament’s Speaker’s Court. Heidari dismissed Sikorski’s involvement in what Iranian officials characterized as an “anti-Iran show” and rejected “baseless and repetitive accusations” about Iran’s drone program. The exhibition, organized by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), featured a Shahed-136 drone recovered from Ukrainian battlefields and aimed to highlight Tehran’s alleged role in enabling Russian attacks. Sikorski attended alongside UK MP Tom Tugendhat and Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle during his London visit for meetings with British officials.
