First time in U.S. history that an Iranian Shahed-136 drone has been displayed publicly on Capitol Hill

On May 8, 2025, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) hosted a historic event on Capitol Hill, unveiling the Iranian regime’s Shahed-136 drone—the most lethal and ubiquitous terror weapon of mass destruction in the world today. The event marked the first time in U.S. history that an Iranian drone was displayed on Capitol Hill for public viewing. It drew significant attention from lawmakers, experts, and media, and was part of UANI’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the true nature of the Ayatollah’s regime and the growing threat of Iran’s drone proliferation.
