United
Against Nuclear Iran Releases Statement Following President Trump's
Iran Nuclear Deal Announcement
New York, NY - United
Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) Chairman and former U.S. Senator Joseph
I. Lieberman (I-CT) and CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace issued the
following statement on President Donald J. Trump's announcement
regarding the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA):
"As leaders of United Against Nuclear Iran
(UANI), we vigorously opposed the JCPOA because it did not stop Iran
from obtaining nuclear weapons. It only paused their nuclear
weapons development program for a while, if they kept the promises
they made in the Agreement. That is why we believe that
President Trump made the correct and courageous decision in
terminating America's involvement in the JCPOA, re-imposing economic
sanctions on Iran, and stating that the U.S. remains open to diplomacy
that will achieve a better agreement.
"Iran's regional hegemonic ambitions have
destabilized the Middle East, threatened our allies and pose a danger
to American national security.
"It is critical that we employ a robust
diplomatic strategy and use the renewal of secondary sanctions as
leverage to secure a comprehensive agreement that conditions
sanctions relief on Iran abandoning its nuclear ambitions, ballistic
missile development, its support for terrorism, quest for regional
dominance, and human rights abuses," said Lieberman and Wallace.
