FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 30, 2010 Contact: Kimmie Lipscomb, press@uani.com Phone: (212) 554-3296 UANI Calls On New York Area Hotels To Refuse To Host President Ahmadinejad And The Iranian Delegation During the Upcoming United Nations Conference New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) yesterday called on New York area hotels to refuse to host President Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Delegation during the upcoming conference at the United Nations, scheduled to begin in New York City on May 3, 2010. Speaking about UANI's hotel campaign, UANI President Ambassador Mark D. Wallace said: President Ahmadinejad and his regime are the world's leading state sponsors of terrorism; they defy international law in developing a nuclear weapon and brutally repress their own people. No American-based venue should host this outlaw regime. We call on all New York-area venues to help isolate and condemn the Iranian regime by refusing to host President Ahmadinejad and his cohorts. UANI, in September 2009, called on all New York City hotels to refuse to host President Ahmadinejad and the Iranian delegation. As a result President Ahmadinejad was confined to the one venue that agreed to host him. UANI calls on all New York City hotels to join with multinational corporations such as General Electric, Huntsman, Caterpillar, Ingersoll Rand, KPMG, Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Siemens, ENI, Petronas, Daimler, Royal Dutch Shell, Trafigura and Glencore, all of which have recently either severed their business ties with the Iranian regime or announced that they will not pursue new business with Iran.

The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran should concern every American and be unacceptable to the community of nations. Since 1979 the Iranian regime, most recently under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's leadership, has demonstrated increasingly threatening behavior and rhetoric toward the US and the West. Iran continues to defy the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United Nations in their attempts to monitor its nuclear activities. A number of Arab states have warned that Iran's development of nuclear weapons poses a threat to Middle East stability and could provoke a regional nuclear arms race. In short, the prospect of a nuclear armed Iran is a danger to world peace. United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a non-partisan, broad-based coalition that is united in a commitment to prevent Iran from fulfilling its ambition to become a regional super-power possessing nuclear weapons. UANI is an issue-based coalition in which each coalition member will have its own interests as well as the collective goal of advancing an Iran free of nuclear weapons. The Objectives of United Against a Nuclear Iran Inform the public about the nature of the Iranian regime, including its desire and intent to possess nuclear weapons, as well as Iran's role as a state sponsor of global terrorism, and a major violator of human rights at home and abroad; Heighten awareness nationally and internationally about the danger that a nuclear armed Iran poses to the region and the world; Mobilize public support, utilize media outreach, and persuade our elected leaders to voice a robust and united American opposition to a nuclear Iran; Lay the groundwork for effective US policies in coordination with European and other allies; Persuade the regime in Tehran to desist from its quest for nuclear weapons, while striving not to punish the Iranian people, and; Promote efforts that focus on vigorous national and international, social, economic, political and diplomatic measures. UANI is led by an advisory board of outstanding national figures representing all sectors of our country.
