Tusk told a government meeting that Warsaw “does not plan any expedition to Iran,” adding that the decision was understood by the United States and other allies.He said the position applied across Poland’s land, air and naval forces.

Tusk emphasized that Poland’s military posture remains oriented toward its immediate security environment, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict linked to Ukraine.

He noted that strengthening capabilities along Poland’s eastern flank continues to take precedence.Securing the Baltic Sea remains a central pillar of Poland’s defense strategy, he added, underscoring Warsaw’s focus on regional deterrence and stability rather than participation in operations farther afield.

The remarks come after Trump called on allied nations to contribute to efforts to safeguard shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy supplies that has faced attacks and threats attributed to Iranian forces during the third week of a U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.

Several U.S. allies, including Germany, Spain and Italy, have also indicated they have no immediate plans to deploy naval assets to the region, signaling broader reluctance within Europe to expand military involvement.

Poland’s stance reflects a wider recalibration among European states balancing alliance commitments with domestic security priorities, particularly as military resources remain tied to reinforcing defenses closer to home.

The ministry said it had summoned Iran’s ambassador in Bangkok to seek clarification on the circumstances surrounding the incident and to obtain details about the attack on the vessel.

In a statement, the Thai Foreign Ministry said it was requesting a formal explanation from Iranian authorities and pressing for an apology over the damage inflicted on the ship.

Officials said the projectile strike triggered a blaze on board, prompting the crew to evacuate the vessel for safety.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement carried by the Tasnim News Agency that the vessel had been “fired upon by Iranian fighters,” according to the report.

The statement did not provide further details about the circumstances that led to the strike.

The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints for energy shipments, has come under heightened scrutiny amid rising tensions linked to the conflict involving Iran and its regional adversaries.

The incident involving the Thai vessel adds to growing concerns about risks to commercial shipping passing through the narrow waterway.
