Poland is stepping up diplomatic engagement in the Middle East, with Deputy Foreign Minister Wojciech Zajączkowski visiting Tehran and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski holding talks with Gulf state representatives in Warsaw. The visits come amid heightened regional tensions and renewed concerns over security and energy markets. In World Talks, Łukasz Fyderek, Head of the Institute of the Middle and Far East at Jagiellonian University, discusses Poland’s diplomatic channels with Iran, the prospects for dialogue between Tehran and the West, and Warsaw’s potential role in regional diplomacy. While Poland is unlikely to emerge as a key mediator, Fyderek highlights the importance of maintaining communication as the risk of further escalation persists. Join Sascha Fahrbach and his guest as they examine Poland’s diplomatic strategy, regional security challenges, and the potential consequences of the Middle East crisis for Europe and global energy markets.
