FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 5, 2011 Contact: Nathan Carleton, press@uani.com Phone: (212) 554-3296 UANI Condemns Siemens for Increasing Its Business in Iran and Reneging on Its Pledge to End Its Dealings There New York, New York -United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) today renewed its call for Siemens to end its business in Iran, following reports that the corporation has seen "surges" in revenues there, now at nearly $1 billion annually. UANI further called on Siemens to fulfill its pledge to end its business in Iran. UANI lists Siemens on the Iran Business Registry (IBR) for its business dealings in Iran, and has pressured Siemens through a number of campaigns to stop such business. United Against Nuclear Iran President, Ambassador Mark Wallace, issued the following statement: It is simply wrong that Siemens has reneged on its promise to end its Iran business. Instead of pulling out of Iran, Siemens has duped the international community and increased its business there. Siemens must live up to its promises and totally pull out of Iran. Dozens of other corporations have taken a real stand against Iran, and Siemens should do the same. The United States and other responsible governments and consumers around the world should refuse to do business with Siemens until it makes good on its promises and ends its business in 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.
