Thank you for your continued support of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI).
Throughout 2011, UANI continued to develop its programs and projects such as our Private Sanctions corporate campaigns, federal and state legislative initiatives and grassroots advocacy campaigns, to increase the economic and diplomatic isolation of Iran and end corporate support for the regime at a time when the international community is working to compel Iran to abandon its illegal nuclear weapons program, support for terrorism and human rights violations.
UANI's success in 2011 in highlighting the dangers of the Iranian regime and driving international business out of Iran shows that the reputational and fiduciary risks of working in Iran are now too great. UANI's 2011 programs and projects such as the Cranes Campaign, Hotels Campaign and Tech and Telecom Campaign resulted in a number of multinational corporations including ABB, Bobcat, Eaton, Hitachi, Huawei, Liebherr, Komatsu, Maersk, Tadano and Terex ending or significantly curtailing their business in Iran.
In addition, Florida, California and New York adopted model UANI legislation that precludes the provision of state taxpayer funds to corporations doing business in Iran. A complete list of UANI's 2011 activities can be found here.
Over the past year, UANI was also able to spread its message and highlight the growing opposition to the actions of the Iranian regime through earned media and op-eds in a number of leading outlets including the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Reuters, Associated Press, National Review, CNN and many others. A complete summary of UANI's news hits can be found here.
The Iranian regime's unyielding drive to acquire nuclear weapons, support of terrorist organizations and abhorrent human rights record continue to focus our efforts here at UANI, and we will redouble our work in 2012 to pressure companies, firms and entities to sever ties with Iran in the strong belief that we can help alter the regime's illicit behavior by ensuring its economic isolation.
Thank you again for your continued support of UANI and click here to make a tax deductible donation.
Very truly yours,
Ambassador Mark D. Wallace
