UANI Resources on the Geneva Interim Agreement and Ongoing Nuclear Negotiations

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 8, 2014 Contact: Gabriel Pedreira, GPedreira@uani.com Phone: (212) 554-3296 UANI Resources on the Geneva Interim Agreement and Ongoing Nuclear Negotiations The Geneva interim agreement between the P5+1 and Iran is set to expire July 20. Since the outset of the agreement, formally referred to as the Joint Plan of Action ("JPA"), United Against Nuclear Iran has provided analysis and research demonstrating that the JPA is disproportionate in favor of Iran.   Prior to the JPA, UANI also developed analysis and research to demonstrate that the depiction of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his foreign policy team as a moderate force representing substantive change in Iranian regime behavior was false. The following resources provide in-depth analysis of the Geneva interim agreement and the Rouhani presidency in the run-up to the accord's conclusion on July 20.   United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) Statements on the Joint Plan of Action (JPA) The following UANI statements, analysis and testimony address the JPA, particularly in relation to Iran's nuclear commitments, the regime's receipt of disproportionate sanctions relief, and the Obama administration's pledges to maximally enforce sanctions. "Geneva Interim Agreement Analysis: Five Months" (June 25) "Geneva Interim Agreement: Midterm Analysis" (April 15) "As Iran's Oil Exports Skyrocket to 117% of Pre-Geneva Levels, UANI Reiterates Call for Obama Administration to Retract and Revise Past Assurances Regarding Sanctions Relief" (April 11) "Given New Oil Import Data, UANI Calls on Obama Administration to Retract and Revise Past Assurances Regarding Sanctions Relief" (March 14) "Geneva Interim Agreement: First Month Analysis" (February 25) "UANI Issues Statement Regarding Vienna 'Framework' Agreement" (February 20) "UANI Issues Statement Regarding Rising Iranian Oil Exports" (February 13) "UANI Calls on Obama Administration to Reconsider Waiving Sanctions on IRIB, Given Repeated Assurances that Human Rights Sanctions Would Not be Relaxed During Interim Agreement" (February 10) "UANI Applauds Obama Administration for Backing Away from Previous Characterizations of Congress as Warmongers" (February 5) "In Case You Missed It: UANI CEO, Ambassador Mark D.

Optimism in some circles has been encouraged by a change in rhetoric and tone from Rouhani and other senior regime figures, but are words being matched by actions? This resource shows that the Iranian President's words diverge sharply from the actions his government has taken. The nuclear program continues to advance, military intervention to uphold the Assad regime in Syria goes on unabated, and the human rights situation in Iran has deteriorated with a new wave of repression.   UANI Rouhani Accountability Tracker  UANI tracks day-to-day developments in Iran under the Rouhani administration in relation to the regime's (1) nuclear program (2) anti-Americanism (3) support for the Assad regime in Syria (4) human rights abuses, and (5) state sponsorship of terrorism.
