UANI
Urges World Economic Forum Attendees in Davos to
Exercise 'Responsive and Responsible Leadership' and Forgo
Business Opportunities in Iran
UANI releases
open letter signed by former global policymakers
New York, NY - Leaders of United
Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) today released an open
letter to participants attending the World Economic Forum (WEF)
in Davos, warning them of the severe legal, financial, and
reputational risks associated with doing business in Iran. In keeping
with WEF's theme of "responsive and responsible
leadership," UANI called on all attendees to forgo developing
business links with Iran, until its government demonstrates sustained
compliance with the JCPOA, and fundamentally abandons its pursuit of
nuclear weapons, sponsorship of terrorism, human rights abuses, and
destabilizing aggression in the Middle East.
UANI's
open letter, which ran as a full
page advertisement in today's Wall Street Journal Europe,
was signed by former high-ranking government officials and
policy experts, including former U.S. Senator and UANI Chairman
Joseph I. Lieberman, former Acting Director and Deputy Director of
the CIA Michael Morell, former Special Assistant to President Obama
Ambassador Dennis Ross, former Chief of the Mossad Tamir Pardo,
former Director of the Federal Intelligence Service of Germany Dr.
August Hanning, the former Foreign Minister of Italy Giulio Terzi,
and the former Foreign Minister of Poland Radek Sikorski. The open
letter is part of a broader global campaign by the nonpartisan
organization to highlight the dangers of doing business with the
Iranian regime.
