UANI Partners with International Spy Museum to Display Iranian Shahed-136 Drone

(New York, NY) – United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is delighted to partner with the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., to display an Iranian Shahed-136 drone from May 9 to May 30, 2025. 

The Shahed-136 is the most lethal and ubiquitous terror weapon of mass destruction in the world today. Manufactured by entities controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iran’s Ministry of Defense—both under U.S. and international sanctions—the Shahed-136 has been used by the Islamic Republic and its proxies to terrorize civilians and military targets alike from the Red Sea to Ukraine. The drone was responsible for the deadly attack on America’s Tower 22 base in Jordan, which killed three American servicemembers and injured 47 others. 

This is the first time the drone will be shown publicly at a museum, and UANI is the first organization in the world to acquire a Shahed-136 for display.

UANI thanks the Republic of Poland, specifically Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski, and the Government of Ukraine for their assistance in acquiring the Shahed-136 drone.

UANI Chairman Governor Jeb Bush and UANI CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace stated:  "The Shahed-136 lays bare the true face of the Iranian regime and its determination to weaponize and mass-produce terror. This ubiquitous weapon of mass destruction is the modern-day V1 Buzz Bomb used by the Nazis in the Second World War.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran and its terror proxies have used the Shahed-136 to kill citizens from around the world. The Shahed-136 has repeatedly been used against U.S. troops across the Middle East and was the weapon that struck America’s Tower 22 Base in Jordan, resulting in the deaths of three American servicemembers and wounding 47 others. Iran has launched Shahed drones against Israel, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and particularly Ukraine. Thousands of Iran’s Shahed Drones have brought terror, murder and injury to the people of Ukraine. Iran must not be allowed a nuclear program.”

UANI is delighted to collaborate with the Spy Museum and encourages all to visit the museum and see firsthand evidence of the covert weapons deal between Iran and Russia.

The International Spy Museum's address is 700 L'Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington, DC 20024.
