UANI Welcomes Former Senator Joseph Lieberman to Advisory Board

New York, NY - Today, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) announced that former U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman has joined UANI's advisory board.

Last week, Senator Lieberman joined UANI officials in sending a letter to President Obama and Congress requesting that Congress take up debate on the principles that ought to underpin a nuclear agreement with Iran.

Regarding Senator Lieberman's new role with UANI, Ambassador Wallace said:  

It is an absolute honor to welcome Senator Lieberman to UANI's board. Senator Lieberman is widely and deservedly admired for his integrity, and for his commitment to America's national security.

Senator Lieberman is a statesman in every sense of the word, and we are excited to work with him to address the serious danger posed by Iran's nuclear program.

Senator Lieberman currently serves as senior Counsel at the law firm of Kasowitz, Benson, Torres, and Friedman in New York

For 24 years, he served in the U.S. Senate from Connecticut, holding positions such as Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and a senior member of the Armed Services Committee.

Before his 1988 election to the U.S. Senate, Senator Lieberman served 10 years in the Connecticut State Senate and 6 years as Connecticut's Attorney General. In 2000, he was the Democratic candidate for Vice President of the United States.

United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a program of the American Coalition Against Nuclear Iran, Inc., a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran should concern every American and be unacceptable to the community of nations. Since 1979 the Iranian regime 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
  1. 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;
  2. Heighten awareness nationally and internationally about the danger that a nuclear armed Iran poses to the region and the world;
  3. Mobilize public support, utilize media outreach, and persuade our elected leaders to voice a robust and united American opposition to a nuclear Iran;
  4. Lay the groundwork for effective US policies in coordination with European and other allies;
  5. Persuade the regime in Tehran to desist from its quest for nuclear weapons, while striving not to punish the Iranian people, and;
  6. 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.
