In Case You Missed It: UANI's Warwick Protest Featured on CNN "You Have to Have Some Standards for who You will Play Host to." CNN's "Newsroom" September 24, 2012 CAROL COSTELLO, CNN: Our next guest is leading protest against Ahmadinejad, even targeting the posh hotel where Ahmadinejad is staying. Nathan Carleton is a spokesman for the group, "United Against Nuclear Iran." ... What do you plan? NATHAN CARLETON, UNITED AGAINST NUCLEAR IRAN: We are at the Warwick Hotel here in Midtown, both inside and outside. And the first point is we are showing Mr. Ahmadinejad that he is not welcome here in New York City. This is a person who has called 9/11 a big lie. He is the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism. His country has killed many Americans. We just don't think it is appropriate for him to come to New York and expect to be treated well. But also as far as the Warwick, we just don't think it is responsible for a private business to   be rolling out the red carpet for him. If he wants to come to New York that's fine, he can speak at the U.N., but he should stay at his country's mission to the U.N. and it's a shame that a hotel would accommodate him. ... You have to have some standards for who you will play host to and by hosting Ahmadinejad, they are creating a security nightmare in New York. Unfortunately, it is NYPD and U.S. Secret Service who have to guard him at taxpayer expense.

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.
